Charlies Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hi all, I've got a 1.0mpi lupo on a w-plate. Not looked yet but I'm told brake carrier is part of the front hub?Need to change the wishbones and front brakes discs need doing to.Got a pair of g60 discs and mk1 golf hubs knocking about.With the appropriate carriers the discs and calipers will fit the mk1 golf hubs, but will the hubs fit my lupo?

treblet Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 There isn't much point on a 1.0l unless it's got a rocket up the exhaust!Drilled or grooved disks and decent pads will do just as good for a fraction of the price and effort.

Philplop Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Yeah, the brake carrier is part of the hub.I think you can convert it to Sport or GTI hubs, which will then enable you to fit the G60 carriers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlies Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 The point is a set of pads is a tenner, and the parts are there with no other use at present.So don't wanna have to buy more parts when I'll still end up with shocking brakes.Got a huge sound system in car which ways in region of 300kgs, so stopping is an issue.Plus my 1.8t will find it's self under the lupo bonnet in due course.
