Standard brakes
« on: August 28, 2015, 11:15:18 am »
I've found bigger brake sizes for sale at GSF, wanted to know if I purchase a bigger size would it be a straight fit, if not what's required?

Car is a edition 30

Im not sure if ed30 and gti brakes are the same size.

usually, with bigger brakes means a change in calipers too

You need different calipers to fit 345 mm (or 340 mm from Audi TTS) discs. :wink:
