UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

With my new front brake callipers and carriers. Now I will have some proper brakes on my polo, because 239mm vented wont be up to the job.

wot calipers & carriers did u put on it m8? im hoping to upgrade mine sometime soon.

Damn You! I guess 256's are up to the job then?

Indeed they are for 256mm discs.
They are ideal because they fit under 14" wheels and are a lot better than the polo ones which frequently suffer from pad rattle. Plus the increase in braking power which is exactly what I'm going to need.

Oh yeah, they are off a pre 86' Audi Coupe 5cyl. I will get the part number and all the ones they were fitted to if you want. It took me a while to get hold of them, I must have phoned about 20 breakers / salvage yards before finding them.

i am in the process of upgradeng my brakes to 239 got the carriers and the calipers from a brakers in my wisdon i thought i would service them replacing all the seals and dust cover orderd a set from work (vw main deeler ) and they came wrong looked in to it and the dust seals are now obsolete so back to the brakers yard

yeh if u cood find out the part nos, jst so i no if i get ant bits that they r the right 1s.

Thanx

im wanting a back box for my mk3 polo coupe 1.0, and have been told that you are the man to see. could you give me a quote for one, and the tail pipe styles you do please mate...cheers Gaz............

Its dan barnes that does custom exhausts. He has his own little section at the bottome of the for sale section of the forum

Well, if you're looking for a home for your old 239mm vented kit, I'm sure that'd make a lovely project for the old mk2

Enjoy the ability to stop

good stuff Dan. I'll be doing that to my G as well.

I take it this is on the blue GT?

My 239mm vented setup with black diamond grooved discs and greenstuff pads is going on my GT runabout. It seriously needs them as I keep scaring myself with the standard efforts.

So my blue GT will get the new setup I've aquired.
