Vw golf & corrado G60's

oh i see i thought it was a name for a caliper (like big reds) not the car it came off

[stiglet]

Er... i thought the standard front caliper of a 20v and s2 was a G60??

[denniselbows]

well if it is just found a place over in the states that does big red upgrade to fit most cars with that use g60 calipers for just over a grand when i was looking around 18 months ago for brakes the same sort of thing from movit and ap were like £1500-£1600
i am sure customs and p&p would be less than the difference

It is (G60 in VW refers to the engine)

S2 Coupe and Avant,
Coupe quattro 20v
90 quattro 20v
Coupe quattro 2.8 v6

All used the Girling G60 caliper.

That looks quite cool. What is the difference between a 996 caliper and a 993 caliper?

[denniselbows]

993 caliper is made in two peices bolted together 996 are the mono blocks

[stiglet]

okey dokey that's another one for the vault. Cheers dude

[spink]

that package is designed for some US s4/s6's which used g60's as well. god knows why as they are bad enough on an s2 nevermind something that weighs 200kgs more.

and all B4 with 2.8 engine

My old B4 80q 2.8 didn't have them

[Skull]

My old B4 80q 2.8 didn't have them

came from the factory with them 100%

[Rusty]

G60 Golfs and Corrados use the G54 calliper if memory serves me correctly

[Jas11n]

came from the factory with them 100%

The car was a one owner 67k miles with a full dealer history. It did NOT have G60's.
It had 280x22mm vented discs and a single piston caliper. That was what it rolled out of the factory with, absolutely 100%.
Don't forget, this is the UK, what may be clear cut on the continent, wasn't here
