Brake Discs

(1/1)

TheBALDpuma:
Hey everyone.  Looking at changing my front discs and pads - not done this before.  On partsinmotion.co.uk they have got a bunch of different Brembo discs available - is this the pair I want...

mjmallia:
Depends on the car you have, but assume the pic details are correct and you have an ED30

312mm vented is the standard GTI/ED30 front, but many upgrade to 345mm brakes from the R32/S3 etc

A photo of your front caliper can confirm this

TheBALDpuma:
Sorry yeah I've got a Pirelli GTI. 

Assuming if you upgrade the disc size you have to change the caliper too?

mjmallia:
Yes.  The caliper is a lot bigger on the R32/S3.

The rears of the R32/S3 are pretty much the same size as the standard GTI/ED30/Pirelli fronts @ 310mm

If unsure just measure the front disc diameter roughly.

312mm standard fit brakes
345mm upgraded R32/S3 brakes

TheBALDpuma:
Cool cool cool

Can anyone tell me the torque settings for the disc bottle and the caliper bolts?
