Golf Mk2 Brake Upgrade...

[Le S2 Audi]

Our lass's dads shop. I got genuine brand new Mk4 rear calipers for £150 but you have to exchange your old ones but I sent my Mk2 rear instead of Mk4sOh and genuine pads as well. If I was you I'd look for a Mk4 been broken on eBay or on the VW forums for a set. Oh and C&R are the only place that sells the hoses as the guy who owns it thought of the idea,plus they are stainless steel braided goodridge hoses.

Cheers Lee....

I owe you a or two should we ever get to a meet together!!

i had wilwood superlites and 310mm discs on my corrado G60.

its the mk2golf 310mm kit.

worked great. very lightweight. also seat put the prices up way too high on calipers s it made it a no go at the time.

Do s2 g60 twin pots bolt straight onto a mk2 golf?
and what discs do they need?

Yes they do, you can use 280mm G60 discs but they're a bit thinner than is ideal. The other option is Vauxhall Meriva CDTI discs (280x25, 4x100) with a small spacer between the hubs and carriers. They're 25mm thick and just require a slight mod to the centre bore to fit (needs to be made larger). A mate has been using these on his track car for some time and they work perfectly but are a bit of overkill

Depends on what hubs you have! Early one's and late 239mm 8V cars have the carriers attached to the hubs.

If you have 16V & 256mm discs they should bolt on - BUT you will need to change the bottom ball joint to a G60 one or it fouls.

AFAIK,,,

I still prefer Corrado G60-Calipers in front and in the back.
I once tried my old S2-Calipers and it wasn´t that big improvement. besides that, they are much heavier than the Corrado parts, and the car felt heavier, especially on bumpy roads.
so to reduce the unsprung mass of my little 16V, I removed the Audi-Brakes and sold them.
A nice and relatively cheap improvement was the bigger master brake cylinder from the VW T4 without ABS. fits perfect, pedal feel is better
