Fabia vrs mk1 discs and calipers 288mm conversion.

Featured Replies

Can any one help. I have a set of front and rear calipers, carriers and discs off my mk1 fabia vrs which I have changed for 312/256mm conversion. I have a standard fabia mk1 pd100 as a winter car and was wondering if it's possible to change all the brakes over? Will the 288mm discs and calipers at the front fit under 14" steel wheels? What else do I need to do the conversion?

Any help/advise would be appreciated.

Aidy.

Fronts: Hubs... etc. PD100 will have FS 3 or FS III brakes where the carrier is part of the hub. In order to use 288s or bigger you'd have to get VRS or 2.0L or Ibiza FR etc hubs. Personally, think 14s will be too small for the 288s... Might get some 15s to fit...

Backs: Not sure at all.

Thanks again vindaloo, sounds like it's going to be more hassle than its worth changing the brakes over. Its just a winter run about so I may just put the standard vrs shocks and springs on and leave it as that as I don't fancy throwing more money into this car on wheels, hubs etc even though I have all the standard vrs bits spare. But you never know i may change my mind! We will see! Lol

Many thanks for the reply and advise though.

Do your 312mm fronts fit under the standard 16" wheels OK? Saw a guide to fitting 312's mentioned in another forum but can't locate it. Could anyone point me in the right direction please?
