Hi.

Ive been offered some GTI calipers for my 04 GT TDI, and lve struggled to find any information about if these are an 'upgrade' on what lm running at the minute. If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Ta.

Ben.

If its the 140 then yes, your going from 288mm on front to 312mm and from 255mm on back to 286mm or thereabouts.

The front calipers and pads are the same, it is the carrier that is different to allow a bigger disc. Plus they are painted if from a GTI.

Pretty sure the same applies to the rear?
