brake upgrade MK5 GTI

(1/2) > >>

now then everyone...

looking at upgrading brakes on the old MK5 and I've become tempted by the mk7 R caliper upgrade and I have a couple of questions!

firstly, do they bolt to the MK5 GTI carrier brackets or do they have their own different/bigger carriers? I've seen a lot on eBay which are reasonably priced but none of them have carriers with them!

secondly, with the MK7 R caliper installed do they allow for larger discs and if so what size?

cheers!

They bolt straight on and use 340/30mm discs.

thanks guys!!! :happy2:

Bolt on. MK5 hoses fit straight on as well  :happy2:  Although you might want to refresh those with new ones as rubber doesn't age well.  They're not expensive from VW.
