Flip10304 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Hello, quite a large problem here regarding brakes,I ordered a set of Black diamond discs and predator pads for my lupo gti (matched up by the reg plate) diameter 256x25 thickness. All good? No.I've come to fit these brakes and upon taking my old disc off (that I ordered and fitted perfectly using my Reg plate) realised that they are nothing alike.My old disc is 280ish x 22ish.I wasnt aware that my Lupo, had a big brake conversion on it. Can anyone tell me how this has happened and how i can rectify? What discs are being used on my conversion?? and what car from??Thank youuuu.

Defcon5 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 The 280mm upgrade is the most common, quite a few on here have done it.Have a search and see what disks/pads are required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Pugh Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Yeah, the G60s are a common upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Although it's an inconvenience, i bet it's a nice suprise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Isnit, I'd be pretty happy with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper_GTI Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 The pads you've bought will be fine. Just send the discs back and buy either G60/ibiza cupra discs. Any 4-stud 280mm disc should be fine. You can get them cheap enough from GSF, but if you want drilled/grooved, then best get them off the net, as any 'normal' parts shop will sting you for them!

Flip10304 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 As it turned out they were the G60 upgrades, thank you for comments and hell yes im happy! Always thought they fit the alloys quite snug! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
