For all those who have upgraded to 312mm front brakes, what brake pipe/line did you use?

The original lines that are on the Polo.

Original lines when I did mine. Bit tight but they fit and work.

Sweet

A friend used S3 lines and says they have different "banjo" fittings, I plan to have braided lines made up so the shop wants the oem line to match the fittings

Finally did this using stock lines

New rear pads
New front S3 calipers, Ferodo dspf discs and EBC Yellow Stuff brake pads

sorry to bump and old thread, but do the s3 calipers bolt straight on?
and go under 16s?

Yes they do with the carriers

Never tried it with 16s but i believe they are meant to fit under there

and bolt straight on using the same lines?
put some brembos 312mm discs and pads yh? obvs 5 x 100

Yeah, I made the mistake of switching the calipers and realised it was left to right, when they were wrong, the brake pipe didn't reach but once swapped correctly, they fitted perfectly

Can i be cheeky and ask how much you paid, so i know if im getting ripped lol

Im in south africa, if I convert to the pound, I paid 27 pounds because I got it from a mate at a steal, paid almost the same to refurb them

i got 4 pot porsche's...ive seen them under 16's but i think it all depends on the offset of the rim..some need spacing some dont

I am selling my porsche calipers btw
