Identifying brake aftermarket brake discs!

[Oggy997]

Ok, long story short, wife's MOT is up on the 29th for her 2016/66 Caddy.

Rather than take advantage of the additional month she gets to test early - obviously she only booked it in yesterday, to the only garage that had space before xmas, and it failed.
Muppets in the garage were going to order discs & pads based on her reg, but she's running Brembo 4/6 pots that came with the car.

So, she informs me, the disc is 325x30mm - and CB of 56mm kindly illustrated here:

I need to get replacement discs tomorrow, so can anyone help me find them. I'm sure she can go to 345mm on the caliper, but they all seem to be 68mm CB?

Nude pics for anyone with a viable solution.

Thanks

313mm floating, -now she sent me the picture

Non floating accepted

Sounds like standard VAG stuff

Brembo 312mm Front Brake Discs for Audi S3 / VW R32 / TT & Porsche 986 4 Pot Front Caliper Conversion

These are replacement discs for the Porsche Boxster 986 Front Calipers when fitted on any Mk4 Golf / Ibiza /Polo Platform vehicles

www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk

These are cheaper than getting replacement 2 piece ones as you'd need to keep your bells and get new bobbin bolts. Just keep the other discs if you ever want to re-use the bells

 

[Oggy997]

@Tubbs Vice Thanks, are you sure the 986 is 56mm centre bore?

That will be awesome if so

 

[Krarl]

Well if hers is a MK4 Caddy they're 5x112 not 5x100 like the MK4 Golf

Without more pics it's hard to sayt but the MK5 GTI was 312mm discs as well. None of them are 56mm bore, they're about 60-65mm as there's a step machines into the lip to stop the spigot snapping off with a wheel on it

Is there any paperwork from when she got the van to say what conversion someone slapped on it?

MK5 GTI front discs

 

[Oggy997]

@Tubbs Vice

The only other pick I have is this.

 

[Robbie Corbett]

Darkside list them separately here as 65mm....

Mk5 Platform 312mm Discs For Porsche 986 4 Pot Caliper Conversion Kit

1 Pair of 312mm Drilled or Standard Brake Discs for Mk5 Platform to Porsche 986 4 Pot Front Brake Caliper Conversion

However I don't think she is measuring it right.

Get on autodoc and pop her reg in they often give disk dimensions which seem to be mostly center bore 65mm for the caddy. Although it will be the wrong disk for her caddy (due to the brembo conversion) they probably used the standard caddy hub.....

 

[Oggy997]

Looking like 305mm if she measured from the disc itself

 

[Krarl]

They look like ECS bells with the holes

Have a look on Awesome GTI and see if they sell discs to suit them still

 

[Robbie Corbett]

From the image you seem to be taking the measurement from the red marks below, when it should be from the green marks:

We took the CB from the first photo, where she measured the CB Rob

Yes can see that, tape measure at slight camera angle isn't mm accurate through 🤣 but you are right it can't be nearly 10mm out!

Can you pop her reg into autodoc and see what the standard bore is?

You actually guessed the right car, Caddy IV, 2.0TDi, SAA

DF66WXN - 65mm centering diameter

 

[Oggy997]

It's not 65mm though!

I've bought a micrometer, worst case shes jacking it up tomorrow

I already knew her number plate Oggy

No idea what's going on there then because your pictures certainly don't look like the disk has a 65mm bore!!

Time to head back to the MOT garage with your finest palmed £20 note I guess.... Or grab some 312mm discs from ECP and ask the garage to try them?

 

[Robbie Corbett]

I've not seen a kit where they also change the hub but I'm not clued up on VAGGGGG.

 

[Oggy997]

Only an issue because I am stuck in hospital // not fit to check myself so she's doing her best, the garage shouldve helped her about a bit more here.
This is the same outfit who told me my 997 needed a part that was only £30 for the VW equivalent, then tried to charge me the Porsche price.

My brother is going to collect me from the hospital as opposed to her, I will get him to jack it up and remove the wheel / disc & I'll measure it all properly,.

 

[Robbie Corbett]

Where do you live? Not Surrey by any chance?

 

[Robbie Corbett]

Well if you are in Surrey or not a ridiculous distance away and the garage can't fit you in/brother can't do brakes drop me a PM. Would be happy to smash some disks and pads in the Caddy once you work out what parts actually fit while you are off your feet

 

[Oggy997]

Sadly I’m in Corby, Northamptonshire but it’sa lovely gesture.

It is.

 

[RSRowe]

a micrometer seems slight overkill 🤣

 

[Oggy997]

Ok, so Im going for 65mm, are we saying 288 or 312mm for the discs.

I think 288mm might be more likely if you flatten the hub bit and take disc to disc

 

[Oggy997]

Naturally, I've ordered both, from 70 miles away from home, returns are to store, so we'll worry about that next year

 

[RSRowe]

Looks nowhere near 288 on your pic.
Take the disc off and measure the back if you wanna be 100% certain

 

[Oggy997]

Apparently from a TTRS which is 300-340mm.

I had hoped to get the parts today, given I'm still lying in a hospital bed

 

[Oggy997]

Found them, a bit late in the day.

Forge Motorsport 6 pots with FM EBC Yellow Stuff pads.
Yellowstuff pads are cheaper than the Forge variants, but Forge don't list the part number on their site for the yellowstuff, so I have to order or call them on 3rd Jan. Other suppliers may be open, but no good without that part number!

Discs are 330x32mm

Are you 100% sure they are 330mm on there?

 

[Oggy997]

The guy who modified it said they’re forge 6 pots and linked them, they only do two sizes, 330/356mm.

i can’t measure it until tomorrow as it was dark when I got back from the hospital

 

[Oggy997]

And go away with your s**t advice of measuring them 😂

I’ve got less than 5 months to live and I’m on 9-25L/min of oxygen, I’d have whipped them off in an instant if I could ffs.

 

[Oggy997]

£504 shipped, f**king bargain.

 

[Oggy997]

Aye, so, that company, while “open” during Christmas didn’t actually have stock.

first they said were 5x100…..

Then they had no stock (so how can they be 5x100?)……

Then when I asked if the bolts on the rotors line up between 5x100 / 5x112 and I can swap the hats they kindly told me there are no hats in the product I bought - so nfi where 5x100 come from.

they didn’t come back to me with an eta today, but forge confirmed they have stock, so I’ve just ordered directly from forge, screw the cost difference, don’t fancy giving these other guys a penny.

 

[Robbie Corbett]

Oggy I think all this thread has proven is that your Mrs is crap at measuring stuff and that you could probably have converted everything back to standard with new calipers for less money 🤣

Hope bits arrive sharpish for you

 

[Oggy997]

it was £80 cheaper than the first seller to convert it back, after labour etc.

(Less resale of the kit)

my wife in that van with standard brakes? Dead in a week.

luckily she’s named on the 997 so is cutting about in that, not getting a wheelchair in it for me though so need the caddy on the road before Monday

 

[Oggy997]

I forgot to update, they were the correct discs. why the previous owner made the callipers say brembo when they aren’t I’ll never know
