legvw 0 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 If your still on rear drums then they need binning fella! Get some gti/vr6 rear brakes on the rear. If you wanted 312, will they fit under your wheels? You could get the discs re-drilled to 4 stud as i'm not sure if you can get 4 stud vag cars running 312 fronts. Link to post Share on other sites

marky_boy 1 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 would i be able to get the rear disks drilled and tapped? front are easy. Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Just use vr rear discs as they should bolt straight upto the stub, but if not you may need to buy vr rear stub axles.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-MK3-STUB-AXLES-GTI-VR6-5-STUD-GENUINE-/220739261362?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item336515d3b2 The rear disc holds the rear wheel bearing, so get a pair of discs and 2 sets of bearings (1 set per side).

marky_boy 1 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 the vr disks are 5 stud! they will need drilling and tapping to accept 4x100. Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Sorry mate! Use mk2 gti rear discs, same size, just 4 stud instead of 5. My bad.... Link to post Share on other sites
