256mm brakes for all
« on: September 26, 2008, 09:31:26 am »
Thought I'd put this in a separate topic for all to see..

This is from the Mk1 golf owners club and looks a dam site easier to get hold of all the parts required than finding a 1985 audi!!

I had the 256 conversion on my G40 and all I can say is the difference between that and the 239 is like night and day..

So you need carriers, calipers, pads, discs from a 1985 (5 cylinder Audi)
From a 80 or 100?

no the point is you use Vauxhall parts which are a lot more common and cheaper than the audi parts.

Ok... It's easier to find parts from these cars... So, Opels with 16v are having 256 setup , and the FIT to the G because this post is for a Mk1 Golf
