Dblock Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Thank you very much, as i read the how to and the person who did it didnt change their pads, but on another thread it said to use g60 pads. Thanks for confirming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malibukid Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 you can use either pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 shouldn't make any difference mate, your using the standard calipers, its just the carriers that change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teflon Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 another thing worth remembering is that the carrado g60 pads can be bought with and without wear indicators as well...i would use the lupo oe pads becuase they are thicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T5POL Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 I would use the Lupo pads as they match the caliper profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealthie Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 sorry to butt in on this thread style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> but are you guys saying that you can fit the g60 callipers onto the lupo carriers?you didnt mention what discs you were using?are you staying with lupo discs?and do people do this because the g60 callipers would give more pressure on the disc?only asking as me and my brother are trying to make up a conversion for his mk1 jetta and were looking at using lupo parts as they seem to have the right calliper carrier bolt spacing!cheers!doh! forget that - i just re-read the above. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teflon Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 only asking as me and my brother are trying to make up a conversion for his mk1 jetta and were looking at using lupo parts as they seem to have the right calliper carrier bolt spacing!cheers!lupo/polo/mk2golf carriers wont fit on a mk1 jetta or golf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthie Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 yeah, late (mk2->)golfs have 90mm between mounting holes,was wondering about the lupo ones,but i guess going by what you said the lupo are 90mm too then. (mk1 is 75mm)take it by this thread that the g60 carriers bolt straight onto the lupo hubs then,easy brake upgrade huh?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 They go on Sports and GTI's, don't think they do on the lower models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I think the calipers are different on non sport/gtis as well as you get two types of pads one for gti and one for non gtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthie Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 i can probably find out if and what the differences in pads and callipers are, what make discs and pads is it you want? may be able to sort those out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Just to throw in another option I run Golf (mark 3) VR6 pads combined with Lupo Gti calipers and G60 carriers and discs.I think Golf (mark 2) 16v, G60 and VR6 pads are all an option. Go for the thickest as to do the 280mm conversion you have to go from 25mm wide discs (Lupo Gti) to 22mm wide discs (G60 spec) so a few extra mm of pads will help minimise pedal travel and also keep more piston retained within the caliper.*I just cut the wires off the VR6 pads as Lupo doesnt have wear indicators...nothing to worry about there.

stealthie Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 there are three disc sizes on the lupos = 256x25 , 256x20 and the 239x18.none of the aftermarket suppliers i looked at today do discs in 256x25 though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> pads are listed as different numbers for the 25mm and 20mm by volkswagen although aftermarket seem to use the same pads for both of these. and another pad for the 239 disc. i think you get the pad for the 20mm so you would gain pedal travel anyway?and yeah cutting the wires off would not cause any problems at all so you got no worries there.

nfbr Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Delphi Lockheed do the 256x25's... i'll see if i can find the part number tomorrow...They go on Sports and GTI's, don't think they do on the lower models.Not forgetting all the TDI models are also SPORT specification...The TDI will also take the 280mm Carriers off the g60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
