2.0 TSI GT 2008 Disc & Pad change

Post by Willpill97 »

Hi, I have the car listed in the title. I want to change my front and rear discs plus the pads to go with and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the sizes are for the front and rear.
Thanks in advance!

I believe the fronts are 312mm vented discs and the rears are 255mm solid discs.

The front brake pads are common between the 288mm and 312mm set ups.

Obviously, double check the information before ordering.

Thanks for the reply! Sorry to be a pain but what would the common pad be for the front 312mm disc?

By common pad, I mean they both share the same size of pad despite the different disc diameters.
