heartagram Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I was told they have different thicknesses. But I've been told a lot of things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 They do have different thicknesses - TDi uses 256x20mm, GTI uses 256x25mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoor stevie Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 They are the same diameter for the disc, but the disc's are different thickness's, the GTI are 5mm thicker, which in turn makes the pads thinner I think you can use the pads in any set up as you would just push the piston further back to fit the pad.cheers stevie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapidebrothers Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Ok thanks all for the info! Cheers Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANWOLD Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 They are not the same the caliper carriers have a much brauder gap for the disk and the caliper is 10mm wider to facilitate the disks and pads.I only know because i bought some gti cariers and calipers for my tdi.
