Has anyone used the front brakes from a 6N2 GTI on a MK1 before? Im just thinking I already have these and would save buying more stuff if I can use these. They would have plenty of stopping power for what I'd need.

There are much easier ways of upgrading to 256mm front brakes using the existing mk1 hubs.

the calipers and carriers are the same as mk2 16v except they have banjo hoses on, so you'll need different hoses.
the carriers wont fit mk1 hubs so you would need scirocco 16v or old square audi carriers, or try the g60 adaptors. space is tight though with 256mm brakes so you may have to grind stuff to squeeze it all in.
lots of other options as mentioend, vauxhall stuff goes on etc

I'm going to try and a find a set of those carriers and use the Polo GTI calipers. I still have the original brake hoses off the Polo, so hopefully they will fit onto the MK1. The brake lines are shot anyway so they are being replaced so should be easy enough to adapt them if needed.
Thanks guys.
