Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Will 312mm disks even with the stock caliper fit inside the standard 16"s?

      check out the specs of race version Polos in Europe, 300mm rotors and under isn't uncommon, BUT they all have one thing in common, larger four piston calipers. if you wanna go massive rotors with piddly calipers, then it's your money...

        Having fitted 312mm disks, I am of the opinion they are an extravagance unless you plan to track your car frequently. I don't sense any difference in daily driving between the stock rotors with Ferodo pads, and 312mm rotors with Ferodo pads....and the cost difference is about $900, fitted.

            Why? This would only be for looks, not performance....and if you wanted to, you could probably go as large as 312mm under stock 16" rims. But this would simply add unsprung weight. Not worth it, IMHO

                awesome, should look sick. the best part is the bigger rotors will make your car slower too...

                  Oh, I thought the website said lightweight 2 piece rotors. My bad.
