Help To Recognise My Brakes

[Para 82 2 Cars]

Hi all..

 

I am not quite sure what kind of brakes i have in front, I know that it's NOT 1.6 GTI calipers for sure. If I will make a pic, through the 15" original alloy whell of those calipers are you able to tell me what's inside ???

Should be able to, assuming they are still the 247mm standard size discs. If you are sure they are not 1600 calipers then they should be Girling 1900 calipers. A picture will tell for sure though.

Need a pic really

Or 306 calipers... could be a few really.

I will have pics tonight or tomorrow, thanks for help. Was looking at some pictures and I suspect the one from 306 S16 but im not sure

if they're the ones i had fitted to it, they'll be 1.9 brakes. as said measure the disc aswell

They're bigger, 266mm with a similar to 1.9 caliper but a lug added on the bottom.

Yes, measuring the disc will help if you cannot get a good picture, but as above, they may be 1.9 GTi brakes

I think you should offer a prize to the first person who gets it right!

HEhe I thought you guys are so experience that you would recognise it even from the noise they are making

 

Alan do they look like the one which you fitted in ??

Just look like 1.9 calipers to me from the pics. Can't tell alot more without wheel off pics.

[cybernck 400 1 Cars]

^ i second that.

I rekon they are yes. The car seems to of had no other mods since i had it so they're more than likley still 1.9 brakes.......probably

[Para 82 2 Cars]

Thanks, they not very good I am thinking about changing them. Is there any point of changing the disc to better one or just go for gti6 setup ???

[Baz 421]

Personally with decent pads and fluid i find 1.9 calipers pretty damn good.

i'll second that. i just did disks and pads all round , fresh fluid and a clean up of the cylinders and i must say they dont half work well.

Yeah there certainly pretty good and a lot lighter than gti6 too -i'l third that
