audi a3 3.2 quattro brake upgrade
tommygti:
I know this has probably already been asked several times before but just want a simple and straight forward answer with no debates! I am in the process of buying a set of audi a3 3.2 quattro calipers, carriers, and discs for a bargain. Apart from what I have listed what else do I need to enable them to fit to my golf mk5 gti and is it a straight forward swap. Ive read before that some people have fitted the 55mm hubs, brake lines, and 55mm strut adapters for the coilovers. My car is lowered on AP coilovers and currently had the standard 17" Monza alloy so not sure if that will make a difference. If anyone could shed some light on this I would appreciate it. Cheers.

You have a GTI so already have the right hubs.
You just need the brake calipers/carriers/discs/pads then a new stoneguard plate thingmy, and the correct hoses as your current ones are no use.
They'll sit under the 17" OEM alloys...just.

Cheers for the reply. Hes throwing in the brake hoses and splash guards aswell now. Are the hoses just a case of un-clipping mine and attach the new ones? Also I am going to get them powder coated so I will be stripping them down before fitting. Will I need to get new seals and pistons?

If you are unsure of anything then I Suggest you take it to a garage fella.
xjay1337:
Yes if you get them powdercoated you'd need new seals and what not..
You need the brake hose, calipers, carriers, discs and pads chap. As mentioned if you are not 100% confident get a garage to do it, not really any more in depth than a regular brake change anyway. :innocent:
