  hi thanks for reply i would like details of any setup which work better than my normal  brakes cheers Ray

Hello,
I am nikosg60 (ebay) selling these kits.
These adaptors are the highest quality adaptors in the market right now and are made from a well known company in Canada.
As for Scam my feedback and the other parts i am selling does not seem to become from Scam. :wink:

Thanks for your time reading my post.

Nick.

have you checked tsr ? they do big breake kits at ?279 i know this is more ?? than the guy above but you get black diamond disc's and pagid pads, plus if you ask nice u may get a discount(ask them not me that is :wink
but a word of warning, we have run a set of the 285mm on the front of one of our mk1 and rear disc's on the rear, and to me this car was over braked the front locks up if your not carefull. the 270mm kit from tsr should be better, we now run the 256mm front brakes using the audi caliper carriers and mk11 16v 256mm disc's this wowrks pretty well rear disc's are due on the car very shortly, just a little cold at the mow. :mrgreen:

If you run the following set up you would never had any probs:

*Master cylinder 20 and not 22
*280mm and not 285mm
*Brake press. regulator (pressure sensitive) part number: 533612151a(scirocco 16v)
*Rear brake press.reg. with the spring removed(load sensitive).

I have never had any problems with the above setup.

As for the brake adaptors sold on ebay using washers…just be carefull!
Thats all i have to say with my experience with one of these kits.

Cheers

I'd check that one out at the MOT station first as I reckon it'd fail if the spring was missing……….

Thats why i was asking  

Perhaps he means the internal spring  :dontknow:

While using the g60 calipers rear setup you must remove the system (5) shown on the photo and use the pressure valve(1a)also shown on the photo.

This is to avoid over braking of the rear wheels.
As for the pump 20 and not 22, 20 works better with 280mm.

I am braking my car with 300ps without problems at all.I can say the braking is simillar to my old Corrado G60.

Thats all folks

Stay tuned!
