Brake Disc Sizes
« on: February 14, 2011, 09:05:44 pm »
Hey Folks,

I was told at my last service there that i need new left  front and rear Brake Discs and Pads - was quoted £490 from the local VW specialist.

Obv i i have no intention of contributing to the Robbers summer holiday! So i ended up having a wee look on ebay and figured i would replace all the break discs and pads.

Can anyone tell me what size of front and rear discs i should be getting. I have a bog standard 05 Gti and no boy racer.


I had a look on ebay and found Mtec ones - anyone had any dealings with these? It was a package for £189 for Mtec discs and Mintex pads

i emailed the company and they asked what size of discs i wanted - so if anyone has some sound advice about sizes and even alternative webistes/companies to buy from please get in touch.

thanks in advance guys.

312mm vented front

286mm solid rear

Use the discount code SERSAVE on Euro car parts as posted by Mr VRSCarl for 20% off  :happy2:

I think this is only valid on their standard range though not performance.
