Maybe a stupid question but I am upgrading the fronts to 312's. As I will have the carriers and calipers, can I fit them onto the rears.I know 256 octavia rears fit but thought I would ask.

Thanks

Are you asking if the standard front 288's will fit In place of the rear 232's?

Yes mate I am.

Well front calipers operate completely differently to back ones. Plus what are you going to fit the brake cable to?

These were things I was hoping to be told Chris as I am mechanically inept.

standard are 232mm solid disc 256mm are vented discs and more than enough i run 323mm on the front 

I know about the size differences and vented etc but totally forgot about handbrake cables

Do 256 vented rears fit straight on?

yes! along with callipers of course

And not off a 4 wheel drive.

If they are off a 4 wheel drive what does it take to get them to fit? I know you need to trim the splash guard but what else is involved?

They won't fit full stop. You need the 256 setup from a 2wd car (or at least the carriers off a 2wd car - the calipers are the same)

Other than that though you're right; either trim or remove the splash guard and everything else should fit in the same way as it did with the original calipers.

Stick to octy Vrs or Cupra R rears. Much safer bet!

I've bought rear brakes off an Audi TT 250bhp so they won't fit?

Nope - Did you do any research before buying?  4WD are different.  I made same error and even using the supposed corrective bracket sold on UK mkIVs forum, they didn't fit.

Audi TT's didn't come in 250bhp. Either 225 or 240.

Not quite true,as above just a pair of spacers required.

A quick search reveals;
