isn't it just the disks and calipers?

its a 1.5 auto.

If its a 1.5 then you have GTi spec calipers. Only thing you need is the GTi vented discs and make sure you get the right pads. The disc you have at the moment (if standard) will be a solid disc of something around 12mm thickness. As GTi discs are vented they will be thicker and the pads won't be so thick so will wear out quicker.

Hope this makes sense.

As yours is an early mk2 it might only have the 239mm... if your upgrading you might aswell get the later 8v or valver 254mm set up with 9" servo etc.....

no its for my mk1 not my mk2 mate

oops overlooked that bit .....


when i finally get back to it im going to be uprating my mk1's brakes...if you want it you can have the old discs n calipers...if i can find them

can anyone else confirm that my mk1 1.5 auto has the gti setup? i dont want to get some if i dont need to. im looking to upgrade to make the brakes better whats best to do? (obviously not to expensive please) cheers

take a photo of the current setup mate

ok front and back?
