Fitting GTI brakes onto 1.6 FSI golf.

[RoMocop]

Just sold my GTI brakes, person who bought them is trying to fit them onto his 1.6 fsi golf.

He says he thinks he needs gti hubs as the carrier for the caliper is part of the hub on his car?

Anyone shed some light as I dont have a clue.

Cheers.

afraid he is right

[RoMocop]

Ok, cheers.

Any ideas if the 1.6 legs will fit into the gti hubs?

[Andy]

if i remember rightly where they fit into the shockers are a different size also--the 1.6 are 50mm the gti are 55mm

[RoMocop]

Thanks for that.  Sorry to be a pain, can you give me a list of the parts required apart from the brake setup (front) itself?

[dan1985]

The wheel bearings are also different, cast hubs with integrated brake carriers (50mm struts) only have 3 bolts holding wheel bearing on, or at least mine did.

When I upgraded to R32 brakes I needed 55mm struts, hubs, wheel bearings and a few new nuts and bolts

[RoMocop]

Cheers mate. 

[Andy]

might have to change a few things like
Front suspension,also the drive shafts and cv joints might need doing as am sure thier smaller,Hopefully some body might confirm all this

[dan1985]

Ours is a 1.9tdi and driveshafts and CV joints are exactly the same,I spent about £400 quid on hubs and bearings, nuts and bolts etc

If he needs the hubs i have some sat here with abs sensors and bearing still in, i'm sure he can pick up a very cheap set of gt tdi suspension for around £50 on ebay unless he can find 2 front gt tdi struts cos I also have the gt tdi springs and rear shocks, same dimensions has the GTi.

Ill have a look on ETKA regards the drive shafts but will be in the morning now.

The hubs and bearing you can have for £20 each but may be cheaper for you to pick up but can arrange postage??
