- Brakes identify
Looking at different VW brakes from Mk1 golf brakes, mk2 brakes, mk3 brakes and vw corrado brakes .
Identifying different brake discs sizes
239mm brake discs
256mm brake discs
280mm / 288mm / g60 brake discs
Different volkswagen hubs. From Mk1 golf to mk2 mk3 and corrado
Difference between a Mk1 Golf GTI and a Mk1 Golf GTI hubs
All Mk1/2/3 and corrado g60/16v are 4x100
Vr6 is 5x100 wheel/ hub / brake disc figment
Brake caliper are identified
The different between 239, 256 and 280 / G60
Showing with measurements the difference between the brake calipers and the brake carriers between the different sizes 256 vs G60/280
Note not all G60 brake carriers have “fangs” it just happen that the set I had did.
G60 and VR6 brakes are the same diameter (but difference figment = 4x100 vs 5x100 ) until mk3 VR6 which got 288mm.
I’m not sure if there was a difference in sizes depending on the year and country (Europe vs Usa ) as it’s often discussed are vr6 brakes 280 or 288 ( it just depends on country and year/ model of car )

Dude. I reaaaaaally appreciate this video. Helped me identify my dumpy 239s and upgrade to 256s!
la bestiaaaa da best!, thanks helped a lot
I’m delighted it helped you .
Comprehensive parts bin! I don't know if there's 2 versions of the 'G60' 54mm caliper, I know there's a thin and fat pad, sure I needed the thin pad for the mk1 using a mk3 bits!!
👍👍
Something worth adding - 256mm brakes are possible on a mk1, using Scirocco 16v caliper carriers. Those are the only carrier that holds a Lucas 54 caliper while fitting a mk1. You'll also want a 22mm master cylinder, and a late cabriolet booster, or a modified mk3 booster.
Cheers!
I focused on just golf /corrado and mostly mk2 without using any odd brackets or conversion plates . Your dead right using the scirocco calipers ( is it Mk1 or2 ) on the Mk1 golf is a great upgrade but they are like hens teeth..
I’m running 280mm on a Mk1 with standard Mk1 gti calipers but have extension plates to push them out. The brakes are fantastic but there is a lot of disc that never gets used. And yes a 22 or even a 24 mm master cylinder is a good upgrade and big servo too . I’ll have to make another video with your additional info 👍
@@stevenharpervw It's nice that the upgrade uses VW parts, an no adapters, but yes the carriers aren't easy to find.
It's the Scirocco mk2 16v (~1987) that you need to look for. I was able to find a set for my mk1 caddy tdi just last week. Search for the carrier and caliper combo part numbers, centric 141.33035 and 141.33036. Sometimes the remanufactured calipers come with a standard golf/Jetta A3 carrier, but I got lucky !
@@ericfore where did you find them? eBay?
I would like to add to this their are 256mm solid and vented rotors to and its the same 54mm calipers but the carriers are different. I did that upgrade on my Passat B3 1.8,
Thank you for adding . Any more info please keep adding to this video . Don’t forget to like 👍 and subscribe
If you add brake master cylinder to this upgrade then it makes the difference 😉
Hi there, i have a early 1.8 carburetor jetta mk3 with Solid brake disc. I found a jetta in the scrap yard with ventilated disc so i bought the calipers with carriers but they dont line up with my current stub axle holes. The hanger holes are wider apart than my present calipers. . So i then bought the stub axles (hub carrier) so i can bolt the calipers to make this set up work. Do u perhaps know if this will work or are the wheel bearings going to be a issue as well? Regards Andrew
I’m not 100 % sure what you ended up buying . The mk1 hub that holds on the carrier, the holes are 80mm apart . The Mk2 hub has the holes 100mm apart so maybe you have a mk1 and your fitting Mk2 hubs and brakes to it ? You might need the drive shafts too
Trying to fit mk1 GTI brakes to my 74, are all mk1 spindles the same?
I think so. I honestly am not sure as I only have 1.8 Mk1 golf
What wheels are you going to use with g60 brakes, i have a 15x6" bbs mahle and it didnt fit with the g60 brakes on a mk2
16” wheels or bigger for G60
16” wheels or bigger for G60
Are there different size rear disks? What size matches the 280s for the front?
No all rears are the same size regardless of fronts. Reason for it , when you brake your Center of gravity is shifted forward and your loading up the front wheels . Basically your rear wheels are going up in the air and your front wheels are getting planted into the ground so there is no point upgrading the rears
@@stevenharpervw thanks! It’s the 226mm?
