Hi everyone I currently have stock brakes on my 2008 MK5 GTI.
I got a set of rear discs from a Performance Pack GTI 40 year edition.
I also bought a set of S3 rear Calipers with the carrier so the rest of what I needed.
When fitting it all up I found that the pads from the performance pack gti were different to the S3 rear calipers so I had to buy new pads that fit the s3 style calipers.
Now the problem I have is that I put the discs on they fit but touched the heat shield so I pushed that back a little as it was only short by a few mm. Then when i tried to put the brake carrier onto the hub and over the disc I found that the carrier was touching the disc and wasn't even flush with the hub to mount it.
So either the Mk7 rear discs are a different to the s3 rears discs that fit the mk5 gti. I would assume that this is the case but I haven't been able to find anything that says what offsets the mk7 is compared to a mk5 or if its all the same.
Anyone else done this conversion and can shed some light please ??
