ILL BE DOING GOLF iv GTI ANNIVERSARY REAR BRAKE CONversion

wider calipers and upgrade from 232 mm solid disks to 256 mm vented ones

as well as this i have a blanking plate to remove the drivers lock from the door handle and replace it with a smooth piece like the passenger door

then ill be looking in to a LHD rear light to lose the red box in the white section at the bottom of the rear drivers light

oh and a new wheel for a spare, so i can replace the foam in my boot corrently with a 16" alloy wheel

then thats it for a good while i imagine

I wa in the AUDI dealers this morning and looking at all the LARGE rear brakes.

I also will plan to do the rear brakes... the fronts are great now but a little more help from the rear will make it more balanced..

Jeff..you know what parts we need ????

Cheers J

you basically need the anniversary gti rear calipers (so they are red), carriers (again red), braided stainless steel goodridge hoses to match my front ones hoses disks and pads, weather they be in my case tarox sport japan/strada setup, or stock vw items

and kenny, im on about swapping the rears now, i already have the 312mm front golf IV anniversary gti setup on the front and am loving it

joe, those wheels are lovely mate, im a big fan of them, but just for your knowledge, they do not clear the big 312 mm brake conversion, just in case you was planning it in the future
