lupogtiboy Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) erm..... the guy is a knob! The 288mm carriers as found on VR6 mk3 golfs is 4a0 615 125 athere are 2 parts numbers for g60 carriers, the earlier part number is857 615 125 (280mm)which is upto 1991, then they are 357 615 125 c (280mm)which can be found on corrado 1989 - 1995golf 1990 - 1996golf synchro 1986 - 1991golf estate 1994 - 1996jetta 1988 - 1992passat 1988 - 2000vento 1992 - 1996the 357 carriers are fine with Lupo's as I'm on my 3rd set of pads and second set of discs, and I've had NO problems whatsoever! My carriers came off a mk3 8v golf GTI with an ADY engine code (same as 2e and AGG) and I painted them red, as they don't come in red at all from VW.

sheps Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 would i need any additional parts to do this conversion to a sport or is it literally just carriers and disks, then use standard calipers? Cheers Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henlupo Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 hi sam, not sure mate look through the topics or go down the scrap yard and buy the calipers/carriers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
