Skoda Octavia VRS mk1 brakes.

Hi Everyone, i'm going to be needing some new disks for my car soon and was wondering if the Audi TT/MK4 Golf gti disks are the same. On ebay i've searched for octavia vrs disks and they are listed for the TT aswell. The thing is the Audi TT disks seem slightly cheaper that the Octavia ones for some reason.

Cheers,

look at the sites for Tarox, EBC or Black Diamond..... find the part number for your disks & see what other VAG models use the same part number

I've had a quick look...... A3 & A4 1.8T / 1.9 TDi models aswell as Golf 4 1.8T / V5 are the same as yours

288mm diameter x 25 thick

I think the TT use's 312mm diameter disks (not sure about the late 150bhp models)

312's on the vRS too. Rears are 256mm.


I'd go to a local Motor Factors rather than Ebay. Stick with the standard discs as there's no need to uprate them.

If you want better stopping power stick a set of Ferodo DS2500 pads on. I ran that set up for over 40000 miles with a few track days included and never ran out of brakes

If you go for DS2500's expect to clean your wheels more often than usual as they can be a bit dusty. They're worth it though.

You could ask Awesome for a price etc.

Or if you wander over to BRISKODA.NET you can ask for a price from them direct etc .
