Recommended Posts

Spoke to a few people from here about getting new brakes for my Lupo 1.4 Sport. Been told to go for 280mm and to go to GSF.

Was told that greenstuff make really good pads.

I haven't got a scooby about brakes so if anyone could tell me exactly what i need.

Discs/Pads/what else?

Also, on the GSF website there is 4 types for VW. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Andy

Greenstuff dont make anything...

EBC make Greenstuff/Redstuff/Blackstuff pads...

Greenstuff for Fast Road, Redstuff for track use, and Blackstuff OE spec.

I used a couple of sets of performance pads and found absolutely no difference between standard ones and performance ones.

as for the 280mm conversion

You can use your standard pads.

You need 280x22mm discs from a G60 Golf or Corrado

And you need the Caliper carriers from one of many cars:

G60 golf

G60 Corado

Passat TDI (94-98)

Ibiza Cupra (upto2002)
