audi 80 brakes
« on: March 23, 2010, 08:13:12 pm »
Ive recently found out by going into a motor factors with a brake pad my brakes are from an audi 80.
They are 239mm... Would these be the correct carriers to convert to larger gti items?
thanks

there's loads and loads of 80s and early 90s VAG cars that share the same 239mm discs and pads.

239x20 is just standard g40 brakes though, like I said, tons of VAG stuff uses these brakes from the 80s and early 90s.

The carriers from audis that allow you to fit 256mm discs are much, much rarer.
