    Front brake conversion help: 239mm solid to 280mm vented for Cordoba

    I'm after guidance from anyone with the knowledge/experience for this conversion.
    I'd like to find out what I need to make this work as a bolt up upgrade.

    Currently the front brakes on my Cordoba use a 239mm solid disc that's 4 bolt.
    What I want in replace of that is a 280mm vented disc and still keep it 4 bolt.

    What are the parts I need and from which cars are they available from to make this work?

    You'll need MK3 Golf struts for starters.

    Once those are in all the 280 mm stuff will bolt straight up.

    Discs are from Seat Cupra and the MK3 VR6 calipers should work I think.

    Girling 60 calipers would work too of course.
