The disc and carriers change from 280 to 312mm but the caliper is the same on both. That is a standard caliper and would fit either size of disc and carrier. (Carrier and disc have to match however for size, to each other of course)

TBF I have 312mm carriers and they are huge compared to the normal 280 ones. I think those are standard 280 carriers mate. Could be wrong but just from looking at them.

I see what you mean, if they are from a GTi then they must be 312s.

If need be, I have a set brand new which you can have for postage. (312 carriers only) As I bought uprated grooved and drilled discs in 280 size for the van, as I have 15" steels but they sent the wrong carriers - the 312 size instead. So I used the original carriers with new brake discs and calipers.

Can you pm me, I haven't been upgraded so can't send you one. I can then maybe reply with details. Don't want to post email online in the forum. We'll figure it out. Added you to my friends list. This restriction is a pain.

I'll find out what they want for postage mate, that's all I need.

I don't suppose it will, they are heavy but can find out. Need to be able to swap details somehow but I don't want to do that in the public forum.
