How to retro-fit the 312mm front brakes to a Mk7 Golf

[tigeo]

Thanks for your answer Golfdave

I finally bought this game.

I think I will encode bytes 04 (hexadecimal value 34 or 50) and 17 (hexadecimal value Al or 0A) of brake module 03.

I was not able to change these using OBDEleven - wouldn't let me. Are you able to? I take it you are using VCDS?

Very cool! Did you need new brake lines? Which model caliper did you go with?

The cr4 for the 312 rotor. I’m a tdi so it’s never gonna be fast and figured this was more brake than I’ll ever need plus saves some wheel weight over a 330 or bigger. I ordered their lines as it was an extra 50$ and I’m lazy. (Turns out stock brake line bolt wouldn’t work anyway, different threads) They’re much lighter than the stock calipers, I have no scale but it seemed the whole unit weight about as much as the stock carrier.

Then all you need to buy is pads, discs, & the brackets (carriers)..

no need to buy callipers or splash shields...as you have done...

...just reuse your old callipers & splash shields.

As uncle dave claims see proof picture as I did exactly as the guide claims.

no need to buy callipers or splash shield. Thanks for making such a good guide!

I just upgraded the brakes on my 2015 GTI for track days and will have a set of non PP calipers/rotors/dust shields (front and rear) available if anyone is interested in upgrading your golf. Just PM me.

These will sell like hotcakes - if you are on the FB groups, that's where I'd post it.

Just pulled my non-PP brakes and got them cleaned up if anyone is interested. Wasn't sure where to price them at so feel free to make an offer. Parts listed here: https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php?threads/mk7-gti-non-pp-brakes-450-obo-shipping.383116/
