craggsy 91 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Just posted on FB........but now I see you have 280s. You will need calipers AND new brake lines on front at least Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Must read posts to the end lolI just bought a 6 line goodridge kit for my car, as long as you get the 2 front hoses they will work. Not sure if rears are banjo fit also Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 You should be able to pick up some high tensile bolts from a local engineers shop, you need spacers too Link to post Share on other sites
Ian_rogers 0 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I found a place in America that does a spacer and bolt kit but trying to find somewhere in the uk to supply as it's nearly $100 from the U.S Link to post Share on other sites
Mark. 2 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 dont be mental paying $100 for those plates! i made mine myself from 6mm plate of steel i picked up from a welders place, measure the carrier up to it, drew a few lines and cut and drilled away! its easy!

michael5556 247 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I used mk4 caliper and carrier. Mk3 disc. All 288 as I only had 280 discs on. And currently stuck with 15" wheels. I only had to space it out by about 2.5 mm using washers as the mk3 discs don't sit out as much. Got the flexis from Tps as they come with banjos needed. Link to post Share on other sites

michael5556 247 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Bolts to hold carrier on? Just go b n q or something!Take your current bolt with you. Don't get them too long or try will pole out and touch the disc Link to post Share on other sites
