200sx brakes on a mk3

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?

i think i have some 200sx 4 pot calipers if you want them

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

hello mate good to hear from ya, ye iv bought sum 200sx calipers off mark on here and also got myself sum new pads, so all i need now is sum new brake disc and i'll be away, im not sure when i'll get round to fitting them but i'll put a guide up aswell with lots of pics, 300zx calipers are massive that will brake with sum force lol

just a quick update peeps im well on my way to getting this done however iv measure the size of the caliper and it wont fit behind my alloys as they are so gonna have to put sum spacers on there, just wanted to know if anyone has put spacers on the front before as iv heard it may put stress on the wheel bearings and balljoint?

cheers

Hi i'am running on 25mm spacers all round with 18" wheels just gone up to 20" wheels no problems so far

cheers for the reply mate, i need 15mm to be safe and found a kit for about 45 quid

mine bolt to the hub then you bolt on the wheels rather than long bolts and a spacer with holes in (think they are made by H&R)

the kit iv found has longer bolts, but will look into the hubsentric ones

just a quick update got sum pictures of the calipers all tidy'd up, just need to get sum spacers and braided hoses then there going on

woops didn't mean to post them like that lol

they look alot cleaner now, will be good to see them on

yeh they do mark iv cleaned them up good wont be too much longer now
