i know there were 3 golf gt-tdis. 110bhp 150bhp and 170bhp i believe, but im asking did they all come with 312mm brakes?

None of the GTs came with 312mm brakes.

They're fitted to mk1 Audi TT, Golf 4 Anniversary, Skoda Octavia VRS MK1, Golf 4 V5 170,Golf 4 V6 4 Motion

I'm fairly certain you need spacers to run R32 calipers.

I'm fairly certain you need spacers to run R32 calipers.

what size are on r32s like?

R32 is 345mm - damn huge!

I think the only mk4 with 312s as stock is the GTI anniversary edition, and fairly sure they only came in 1.8T form (180bhp I think)

I don't believe any of the diesel mk4s ever came with anything bigger than 288s.

ahhhh, my bad lol.

MKIV R32s are 334mm

MKV R32s are 345mm (and will never fit a fabia)

Broadly speaking 312mm brakes came on any mk4 based car with more than 150bhp standard (excluding the Leon Cupra R & R32). This includes the V5 170 and AUQ engined 1.8T (also used in the Anni)

There was never a standard mk4 tdi with 170bhp - the most powerful was the ARL engined 150bhp version (with 288mm front brakes or 312mm for the anni diesel)

just bought some off ebay, from a golf 4 motion mk4, pads carriers calipers and disks

question, will my brake lines off my 288s fit? as it doesnt look like these have lines connected

Your brake hoses will be fine, I'd advise getting new copper crush washers though!

Should cost pennies from any decent motor factor!

I've never felt the need to upgrade to bigger brakes mine stops really well.

Try driving a van all week then jump in the vrs, the standard brakes are fine believe me.

I bet there's a big difference. There very highly rated on here especially for mapped fabias

They fit between the banjo fitting and the caliper....they seal the hose fitting to the caliper....the same as a sump plug washer!...

Ate right, are new ones necessary?

There's loads on eBay cheap but I don't know what size I have to buy

Yep!!!!......they are considered a "consumable"!

+1

My mates A3 s-line 2.0 tdi 170 bhp runs 288 brakes.

If they can stop that it can stop my little fabia.

What size do we need? I'm also fitting 256 to the rears so how many in total do I need?

Thats what I would get if I could justify the cost......& the two sets of wheel upgrades etc etc.......very OEM though as from the Seat Cupra range!.......and better clamping than the R32 brakes....more pistons ...and they have BREMBO written on them!!!!!!...R32 = pants!!!!!!
