Title: Standard disc size
Post by: vickster on January 08, 2011, 01:46:24 pm

Having bought the wrong sized discs from ECP thanks to their useless site, can someone please confirm the correct size - is it 312mm or 345mm, I am not necessarily looking for an upgrade, just the right ones

Thanks in advance

PS Code BOX20 will get 20% off on their site if anyone is interested  :happy2:

312mm for the standard MkV GTI front discs (345mm are for the R32 Golf, I believe)  :happy2:

Just got a pair of 312mm yesterday from ECP

Wish I had seen this myself - that's a great price for a pair of Brembo discs...and they even include the disc retaining screw!  :happy2:

If that is for a pair, good deal.  I have Pagid pads - assuming EPC sent me the right ones!  I actually think I may have got a refund for those too (I ordered 2 sets - female, didn't suss that one pack was good for 2 wheels)!  :pomppomp:
