Mk5 R32 345MM Brake Discs and calipers

Post by daves2369 »

Hi Guys,

I found a good deal on some MK5 R32 discs, calipers shields and hoses for a 345mm setup replacing my 288mm disks which ill probably put on the back if I can.

Should everything be a simple swap no need for spacers or anything? I think the R32 brakes are also 6 pot whereas the standard ones on mine are 4?

Cheers.

I think he was going by the OP's profile which says he has a 2.0 TSI which does have 312mm discs on the front.

Cheers, Got them through the post today :)

I presumed mine were the smaller fronts as I know the rears are the smallest of the lot at 256 as i did the pads but these seem huge in comparison!
