With Euro Car Parts, order online and collect in store. If you just walk in its more expensive! Also keep an eye out for when they do a 30-50% off deal.

I think GTI rears are 286mm. Take a 30cm ruler out and if it looks bigger, I'm right. If not, you are.

Its very scientific this method. :laugh:

312mm front discs, 286mm rear I think is the standard according to my Haynes manual. As long as the thickness is the same it doesn't matter if they're a few millimetres different.

Do they have wear sensors on the rear? Some are saying they have space for sensor and some not
