standard s2 front brakes for corrado g60?

[tom]

help needed, do they fit corrado g60 and vr6 without any adaptors etc?

[Skull]

G60 yes, vr6 no

[tom]

why vr6 not? they have the same disc diameter so what makes the difference?

dont think the s2 brakes fit vw g60,s2 have the 5x112 and the hat arent the same. vw60 have 5x100 and lower diskheight

i dunno if the brakes on an S2 are the same as 7a equipped cars but i know you can put the 2 piston calipers from a 7a car onto a corrado. they will bolt right up to a g60 and work just fine as the rotor diameter is exactly the same as a g60 corrado. they will fit on a vr6 corrado but not perfectly. the rotor is slightly larger and the steering knuckle is different so i guess the caliper is mounted slightly differently. i have read at one point there is an OEM bracket of some sort that will allow you to fit the calipers perfectly to a vr6 car. as it is there is a bit of overhang of some sort but they still function well.

in the end tho, there's not much benifit, IMHO. the 2 piston calipers are MUCH heavier than the single piston calipers and there is no appreciable differance in performance. the single piston calipers have more than adequate stopping power on that car.

can you tell i own one and have looked at many possible mods?!?!
