9N Polo 1.9 TDi GT 312m brake upgrade query

Post by Archer17 »

Hi Folks

I've got a 9N TDi GT and I'm looking at upgrading the front brakes to 312mm discs.
I've a few question on the parts I'll need to do this, other than the obvious discs and pads.
As mine are 288mm discs, am I right in thinking that, for example, MK1 Audi TT calipers and Polo GT calipers are the same?, so therefore can I just look at buying the caliper carriers, or will I need to get both the calipers and carriers?

What other cars calipers and carriers will fit mine? - Is it from cars with 5x100 bolt patterns?

Also do you need to change the brake hoses or will the ones on the Polo be ok to use with the upgrades brake set up?

i fitted 312mm discs to my 6r GTI (had the same 288 discs as you have factory)
I just bought some TT Calipers and carriers off eBay and they bolted straight on
For discs i went to andrew page and just asked for some discs off a 2001 TT coupe 1.8T and they gave me the right ones (5x100)
its a simple task to swap the lot over too!
