Title: Mercedes brake discs
Post by: ktlstar on May 18, 2012, 11:49:31 am

I am after 330mm x 28mm discs but having no luck finding any information. :fighting:

Will these work with the MK5 golf ?

Here are the specs.

Golf mk5:


Diameter: 312.0 mm
Thickness: 25.0 mm
Minimum Thickness: 23.0 mm
Height: 50.0 mm
Bore Diameter: 65.0 mm
Number of wheel studs: 5
Number of locating studs: 112

Mercedes c class:

Thickness [mm]: 28,0;
Type: Perforated / Vented;
 Centering Diameter [mm]: 67;
Diameter [mm]: 330;
Height [mm]: 46,5;
Hole Arrangement / Number: 05 / 07;
Minimum Thickness [mm]: 26;
Pitch Circle Ø [mm]: 112

To me it seems good, just 2mm difference on the center bore which i now can get some sort of spigot ring to sqweeze in there if it will effect performance.

My guess is that you'd need to space the caliper out so that they would fit over the larger disk. Might be easier to find an S3/R32/Cupra setup.
