R32 rear brake conversion

[JPC]

there doesnt seem to be a specific r32 rear brake diagram on etka

I think it's down to the fact the hub is different with it having a CV joint on the R32? I should have a reply by tomorrow evening if we haven't found out by then.

hmm...maybe, im starting to think this mod will be very very difficult and maybe involve some custom brackets etc

[tony_danza]

Very likely... but a good earner if someone knows how to make something like that.

I was informed by JKM that R32 rears would go straight on the GTI...
What's the size of the R32 rear discs?

[tony_danza]

310mm - i.e. fapping huge for rears!

The cupra kit is 288mil as Mat mentioned, and the chap selling them makes no mention of them not being a straight swap, i am pretty sure if you just went for the cupra kit upgrade which is the same as the R32 the only difficult bit would be the handbrake.

Have a read through or send this chap a message i am sure he will know whats involved.

Do the Cupras have vented rears, or solid like the Golf?

[MAT ED30]

the guy does not know as he is a seat dealer in ireland and i have asked him about the brakes he is selling  as they are not complete kits and i have asked him about the prices as i know VAG  group have changed the discount codes on alot of stuff and they are giving as much off to the dealers  . i have asked him to update his prices and add the parts that are missing to his list as i know what they cost the them and thats what i sell them for

i think im going to have a serious look at this in the new year. hopefully ill get some and trial it.

that sheds some light on the situation! im think them might bolt straight on less the splash guards!

Ok chaps managed to prove myself.  wrong   found a good thread which gives a lot of answers to the problem but also at the end of the thread it looks like it could be done.

Hmm - seems there was never a 100% how to guide, but he does indeed have R32 rears... so they got on there somehow!!
