Hi guys and girls a little bit of help if possible

A friend of mine is looking at an anni front brake set up and has been offered the following at reasonable prices

 The calipers are AMK, the disks are Quinton Hazel and the pads are Mintex

I know mintex are ok pads as I have them myself but I've not heard of the rest of the stuff is it any good or should it be kept away from?

Cheers All

Greg

 quick bump

Any one herd of the disk and caliper manufacture??

also are the calipers any different from the standard GTI ones??

Cheers

Greg

gti calipers are the same, the anni just had caliper carriers, which spaced out the caliper so you can 312mm discs. Quinton Hazel are are a well known brand, pretty good stuff. Usually known as QH on there blue and red boxes.

AMK sound like after market calipers although they could be who supply calipers for VW.

 Magic just the answer I was after

Thats ok, make sure the carriers are there, as they are like £160 new for a pair!

 The calipers are not needed really, just the discs and as said above the 312mm carriers.

Pity a cheap source of these carriers never came up, they would sell like hot cakes.

 too true Gary,

I was luck with mine managed to snaffle a set off of the forum for a grand total of 80 sniffs

Would it really be that hard to get these caliper carries made up!? Some1 could make a killing!

Stuart

nice 1 scoles I never thought about looking on vag parts for just the carriers

 Not a problem i remember seeing them whilst browsing.

I take it with these carriers then the normal GTI calipers can be used with the 312mm discs?

Stuart

Yea your right mate, and you get the bonus of being able to choose your own discs instead of getting locked into whatever discs come in an extortionately priced carriers+calipers+discs combo as sold on ebay and by various other vendors!

VERY GOOD FIND! Well done matey, i shall be getting some of them!!!

Stuart

 Sounds good then. think iw ill get a set as well as i was planning on upgrading to the 312mm setup.

Would these fit under the 16inch wheels though?

Stuart

i know the fit under 16inch monty 2's and other OEM 16 inch wheels except some of the bbs split rims in 16"

Use the search forum, as i found a thread on it, but im crap at posting links sorry

 No problem its the 16 inch monty's that i have. but will be upgrading to bbs CH's soon anyway.

Stuart

cool cool i got bbs ch's on my golf just 18's tho

 Cool, thats the size i want not sure if i will be able to afford the real deal though. i think the 18's would look big enough on the golf.

Stuart

Yeah i think they do, i got mine second hand for £620 they have been painted shadow chrome. I always wanted black rims on my silver car. They need a refurbishment now. Might do them silver, dunno tho? They came with 4 good tyres then two new spare 18's got them from ebay i think the colour put people off. I also last week got a spare brand new ish 18 ch for £120 as a spare

 not bad really then, i thought they went for more than that.

trying to get the golf quick enough before i then start with the looking good factor.

Stuart

Yeah they usually go for a lot more, like i say colour put people off lol.

Im doing a K04 turbo conversion on mine, i know what u mean all show and no go sucks!
