Spoke to a bloke at the last fendubbers meet at halfords cambridge bout this at least i think they were 200sx brakes, does anyone know if they do fit? apparently the carrier on the car needs to be drilled out by a mil but thats it,

cheers

interesting idea... i know the s13's had 280mm discs.
i think a mate of mines got some 4pot 200sx calipers knocking about...

ill try and have a look over the weekend, as im sure ive got some golf carriers knocking about in the shed somewhere too. hopefully it'll work on the polo as well!

it was a guy called tonsofun. he's a mate of mine and this is true.

Hello mate I was waiting for you to reply lol, so it definately is 200sk brakes then?
Bob let me know how u get on, if it looks like it'll work I'll buy the brakes off ur mate unless uv shotguned them that is lol, there's sum on ebay aswell think they'll look good

bob did u have a go at this at the weekend?

how difficult would it be to get these on mk1 brakes?

i suppose you would just go vauxhall route

how much do ya want for them mark, i'll probably be interested when iv got sum funds

not had the chance to see im affraid, as i was mostly drunk/hungover all weekend.

ill try and have a look asap!

lol no worrys pal just let me know ur findings when ya know

I'LL HAVE A LOOK AND SEE IF I'VE GOT THEM, I'LL LET YOU KNOW

Isnt it easier to stick 2 vag if u want 2 upgrade your brakes. Im running a 315mm front set up from a audi s3 on my mk3 golf.

Havin some 4 pots from a 200sx would b good though.

cheers mark, bwild know what ya mean the only reason im interested in the 200sx brakes are cos there 4 pot, not too expensive and its just different lol

alrite mate, i was the guy you spoke to at the meet last month, the brakes i was goin to fit were 200sx caliper and pads coupled with G60 (or probably any 280mm, but mine is a mk2 and needed 4-stud) discs.
Have got a mate 'in the know' when it come to 200sx's and we've managed to work out that the 300zx calipers will fit a 200sx straight swap, so i have a pair of these now, they need slight modifications (as do the 200's) to fit, however they are HUGE 4-pots, and some 300zx 's also had ally callipers - they are lighter than standard golf brakes this way too .
I have got to fit new bearing to my hubs, and hopefully picking up some used disc's off a guy on this forum soon to mock it all up, i can post pics up and a rough how-to when its all done if you like?
There are soo many options this way too, you can use the 300zx pasds, however there a a few upgrades for the 300's that will now work on my brakes ie bigger pads for less than £20, or caramic pads for about $70 apparently, all this with a decent set of fast road discs means i'm goind to be lifting rear wheels when i wanna stop
