Valvers with 239s? Regardless, it wasn't a late spec specific, it was still engine specific. Do you always insult people for pointing things out or are you just socially inept in general.
Yes...Valvers with 239s...weren`t you listening?... Late-spec 16vs have 256mm, early ones have 239mm, making it precisely age-specific (when comparing valvers). My original post was meant to say `Later 16vs`. An mistaken omission on my part. And you didn`t `point something out`, you tried to state fact, and were (once again) wrong...hence me calling you a retard, which in your questioning my socially epititude, I`ll stand by.
If you've got 239's at the moment then you might as well go to 280's. take a look in the classifieds, I'm sure someone in there has a mk3 GTI set up available
I called the dude yesterday and asked,he said they are 280mm, defo won't fit under the RA's. I've got a MK3 as well, and measured them and as you probably know are 256mm. I think they will just fit under the RA's but then thats not taking the bigger callipers into consideration. I thought I could by the Seat ones i mentioned, and put the 256mm disks on them. If that would work, soz about the ignorance but aint done nothing like this before so I don't have a clue. Alloys and I.C.E is about as far as i know.
I think even the very late 8v's ended up with 256mm brakes as well, could be wrong though - it has been known once or twice
Pretty sure the only way it will work is if you grind a bit of material off the caliper body (dodgy as) or use part worn pads. That is if fitting with the standard issue 15" RA's.
My previous Mk2 (very late `92 J-plate) had 256s, but I always assumed they`d been retro-fitted by a previous owner.
my experience is that from 1988 to 1992 i worked for a vw dealer and i can say that i dont remember ever fitting the 256,s to any gti's,they were always the fixed carrier,6mm alen bolt (239) type,but from 91 to 92 i didnt do mechanics much as i was put onto the electrical side but a few years ago when i took a KR engine from an F plate valver it had the bolt on carriers (256) style and also i have been asked a few times for my chassis number when ordering pads as apparently the brakes changed at some point in 1988,how they changed im unaware of
Theres a good chance the 256's had been added at somepoint on my old car, and having driven a mk1 on 239's im pleased to have never had to drive a heavier mk2 on them.
No what you're doing (and do fairly often) was act expressly rude despite the fact that it's commonly referred that 256mm are 16v brakes and quite possibly that late 8vs with 256mm have a retro fit. You stated something you believe as fact, it's commonly accepted what I stated is true aswell so why don't you get off your high horse and accept that all you're doing is being pretentious and reverting to insulting someone rather than discussing it in a more mature fashion. Oh that's right, from experience, you can't
Blah, blah, blah... You stated `facts` (again), were proved wrong (again), and can`t admit it (again). End of...go cry elsewhere...
That all you've got in discussion. How do you know you're not wrong, late spec 8vs can quite easily have had a retrofit somewhere down the line or had bigger brakes as an optional extra. You're not really backing up your point, simply being childish and ignoring what's a fairly valid argument. You never seem to prove much wrong, just act dismissive and move on with a "la la la can't hear you" attitude. Grow up.
