Hi all, I've decided that as I'm replacing the front discs on my Polo Gti 6n2 that I'm going to use the G60 discs. I've already bought new G60 caliper carriers, my question is what pads will I need?? Will the Corrado G60 ones fit once the disc is in place?? I noticed that the thickness of the Corrado pads are 2mm thicker than the Polo Gti ones.......

You'll need to use GTI pads however you may need to shave the backing down a little on the edges as sometimes they foul the carrier.
Once the discs are worn down a bit you can fit G60 pads in, but not before unless you use g60 calipers

When you say 'shave the backing down ' do you mean the actual back or the edges??

The edges. The pads are too wide
