#1: 180 brakes onto GTI 138 Author: hooliganchild46, Location: Rugby , WarwickshirePosted: Tue Aug 21, 2012 11:07 am ---- Hey guys , I need some advice .
I bout my second 138sp a little while back and I was told the car came with some extra's one of them being 180 hubs (fitted to the car) and 180 callipers that still need fitting . Now I need to know some details about dimensions for the discs and will I need a special bracket to move the callipers out ? See the thing is I dont know what 180 hubs look like so I wont know if the guy I got the car from was talking out his bum .

the gti-6 ones I put on fit no bother, just had to get discs + pads

Yeah Paul , I am just doing the front for now but will look into doing the back later .

currently running greenstuff pads and discs from same manufacturer(EBC) not had a problem with these either (more expensive than mintex)
#6: Re: 180 brakes onto GTI 138 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Tue Aug 21, 2012 11:39 am ---- Is there anyway to find out the reg or year of the car it came from? That way you can be sure if you just buy pads and disks for the same year. Just as long as the calipers are not from a 307 or something and you go buying the 206 discs, you should be alright
#7: Re: 180 brakes onto GTI 138 Author: hooliganchild46, Location: Rugby , WarwickshirePosted: Tue Aug 21, 2012 11:50 am ---- Na no way of finding out what year the car was from but I can see if they are the same as 307 callipers as we have a 307 coming in tomorrow so I can take a peak lol
#8: Re: 180 brakes onto GTI 138 Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Tue Aug 21, 2012 11:53 am ---- all them calipers mentioned will fit a 206 with 180 discs, sure all pads are the same for the 180 but dont quote me on that,
what you thinking for the rear as thats custom work
#9: Re: 180 brakes onto GTI 138 Author: scoop, Location: cairo,egyptPosted: Tue Aug 21, 2012 12:00 pm ---- 180 calipers are the same as the 307 ones and same pads too
#10: Re: 180 brakes onto GTI 138 Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Tue Aug 21, 2012 1:47 pm ---- just the carriers that are different then?
#11: Re: 180 brakes onto GTI 138 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Tue Aug 21, 2012 2:49 pm ---- It's not so easy as any 180 disks will fit, there are slightly different brake offsets between 180, 307 hdi which can make things a nightmare if you are miss-sold calipers, buy the disks for the other car..

this is true. it is hard to tell if it got the 283mm/288mm/307mm calipers.
