Title: Brake Disc size Help!
Post by: Jason_E on February 23, 2013, 11:39:29 am

I have searched and searched, but never had a definitive answer to this.

It seem's VW in their infinite wisdom decided to change brake sizes throughout the Golfs production. Is there a guide to show which I size disc I will need?

My Car is a 2006 (06 Plate) GTI with 17" Monzas (doubt the wheel size makes a difference). And I need new rear discs and pads. Recommendations welcomed as well! I have a binding rear caliper as well, so part numbers for that would be very helpful if anyone has them as well. Maybe this will help stop the drone before I give in and get new tyres!

Thanks much  :popcornsoda:
