GT tdi brake upgrade

<< < (2/3) > >>

Andy:
took me bout 2hrs from start to finish but i used the ramp at work--the only issue you might have slight problems with is the rear carrier bolts as they are a bit akward to get to if the car is not in the air

Neil:
I`m looking for a cheap brake upgrade on my GT TDI and I`m considering 312mm front discs after reading this thread.

So the calipers on my `06 TDI are exactly the same as found on a GTI?

Where`s the best place to get carriers from? The dealer?

And discs, I dont wanna use a dealer really so where`s the best place to source parts from?

Anything else I should know?

Thanks  :smiley:

Andy:
Try these Neil

Andy:
