Struts?

[GAF2]

i have the 256mm disk up grade with Girling 54 type calipers and they bolt straight on to my struts with no extra "carriers" does this mean my struts are not G40 or is this normal?

cheers

Any pics of them fitted?

Sounds like you have the random Audi carriers like me.

Can you see any part number to have a look at ETKA?

I have the same calipers, girling 54 on them, i think that the carrier is all part of it. The golf gti ones have a carrier but i think cause these are audi ones they go straight on.

A friend of mine also had the same calipers on g40 struts.

nice one mate i think that is what i have because there are one piece struts,

cheers guys

that's just the audi caliper with the carrier already attached isnt it?  Doesn't the part with the two bolt holes that line up to the strut, unbolt from the sliders on the caliper?

Dont suppose anyonw knows what audi these come from?

And the pads are mk2 golf 16v gti?

[dub-disaster]

Yes they are 16v gti pads. And do a search for Audi carriers there's a few threads on it

[Jezza-7]

Thought so, was just wondering if audi pads fit and what ones.

I have never got a straight answer but I think - Audi 100 but one of the bigger engined ones.

[Jezza-7]

So would them pads fit as well?

[dub-disaster]

Just easer to get golf 16v pads as there's plety of aftermarket options performance and economy.
