Caliper mounting

[Jonzy]

The caliper mounts on the cupra hub, are they the same as anything else in the VAG family, golfs etc.

E.g discs are the same as a g60

Ta

 

[rogers]

the people who use ate powerdisks use the g60 fitment, but im sure they dont make them anymore, phils the man to ask

 

[Jonzy]

I know that mate, ive got a set of g60 discs.

I need to know if the caliper mounts and all the associated hub offsets etc are shared with anything else. E.g the whole brake setup from a g60 will bolt onto a cupra without issue.

Rogers, get on the ball man. He's obviously looking to sneak a bit of Ghetto tuning in..

 

[cu51pra]

the g60 brakes are the same as the ibiza cupra front brakes mate so why would you wanna change calipers?

 

[claudefrog]

the calipers from an audi tt (312mm) bolt on with minimal mod.. from reading what mork and f2stu say its a few mm shaved off the carrier.

you then need to change the brake lines.. and also get the discs redrilled for a 4 stud car, however i have been told this is easy to do with the use of a mill drill.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Maybe he's found uprated brakes, Wilwood or similar for a G60 setup?..

wot you mean like mine? or these http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=45&products_id=4016

any VW car with 4x100 280mm brakes will have the same set-up as the Ibiza

discs and pads are G60 fitment.

mk2 golf!

 

[andyj]

Early Mk3 Golf VR6's were also 280mm IIRC. The 4 stud ones.

When they switched the Mk3 to 5-stud, they used 288mm brakes.

Also, I'm sure some Corrado's were 4-stud 280's.......

 

[Jonzy]

Im not interested in the discs/pads, purely the caliper mounts. As daz said.... ghetto tuning at work. Goto make some **** fit, and it would be alot easier if something from another vag car bolted on and fitted perfectly.

 

[andyj]

same above applies to the calliper mounting to...... 280mm discs require 280mm callipers, which all have the same fitment as Mk3 Ibiza's

 

[Jonzy]

Yes but im not interested in 280mm calipers, ive got my eyes on a far bigger aftermarket setup, but not for an ibiza.

So in theory if say a mk3 golf standard setup will fit on the ibiza, then so will the aftermarket product designed to fit the mk3 golf.

Im sure as **** not paying 700 quid for a set of piss brembos

 

[andyj]

ok, so what I've said is that Mk2/3 Golf stuff is the same set--up as the Ibiza, and that the Mk2/3 Golf setups would fit the Ibiza....

It surely therefore means that any aftermarket stuff that will fit a Mk2/3 Golf, will therefore fit the Ibiza......

Read between the lines

Check this thread out, has a list on the second page with actual models

[Jonzy]

So what were saying is that an aftermarket 330mm 4pot kit designed to fit a 4stud mk2/3 golf should in theory be a direct replacement for the standard mk3 ibiza cupra setup?

 

[andyj]

yes

 

[andyj]

assuming that you've got wheels that provide enough cleaance for the calliper.....

 

[Jonzy]

Certainly have
