Advice on new brakes
« on: July 01, 2011, 01:54:53 pm »
I see eurocarparts are offering a 30% discount to forum members.

I am going to replace discs and pads all round. I'm not interested in big brake kits or upgraded drilled/grooved discs so I want the standard set up.

Are these sizes correct?

Front disc = 288mm x 25mm thick (internally vented)
Front pad = 14mm thick with wear indicator
Rear disc = 260mm x 12mm thick
Rear pad = 11mm thick

Would you recommend Pagid or ATE.

Cheers, yea I have a Mk5 GTi.

I got those sizes from a google search. they must be for a smaller engine golfs?

What sort of pads do I need to get?
