280mm brakes upgrade

Can anyone tell me where I can buy the brackets and 280mm discs so I can use my standard calipers? Cheers. :?

I wouldn't bother with 280mm discs if I were you. Go for 256mm discs. Will provide plenty of stopping power if combined with 16v master cylinder & servo. You can either try to find audi 80 callipers & carriers (rare & expensive) or go down the vauxhall route. There is a guide somewhere on here as to how to do it…

HTH

I wanted to use my original calipers as they are only 6 months old.

A bit pricey for me.

Yuk, cheap and nasty :evil:

I can sell these for ?75 including P+P

all in one bracket made from high grade stainless, with new original VW 12mm bolts and stainless countersinks.

I take it these brackets are for G60 calipers and not the original Mark1's.
