256mm brakes for all

[rich h]

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..

yeah some people on club polo have been doing that for a while using vauxhall parts.

yea we done it on my mates caddy a long time ago nice cheap conversion.

do they fit into stock wheels ?

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

[hayesey]

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

Opel? What Opel uses the 256 setup that fit into G40? Vectra A?

[hayesey]

yeah Opels. Read the mk1golf thread in the link in the first post for what cars to get the parts off.

[Alexiskayak_7]

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

[hayesey]

yes
