rh203 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hi,I need to change my front pads and as I used to own a GTI and changed the pads and discs on that, I was wondering if the caliper size onTDI sports was the same or different to GTI's?I'm also fancying changing the rears from drums to calipers...would I notice a big difference in braking performance by doing this?Thanks.

Rich Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 First question. Same.Second question. Not overly worth it tbh unless you find a whole beam cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rh203 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Are the calipers the same across all Lupo's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 No, TDI's sports and GTI's are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rh203 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 ok great cheers. Will look forward to fitting the green stuff ones I've bought then as my TDI brakes aren't a patch on my GTI's after I fitted greenstuff's on that.

ptLupo Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Be careful with EBC listings for the pads. Some time ago when i bought mine, they had the 1.0 pads listed for the 1.4 tdi.

Gutted as the old ones are absolutely shaggedHow did you get hold of the correct ones (will have a read of that thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
