GTI Brakes on Polo Match

**mrlane** · 11-06-2009, 09:15 PM

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if front brakes off a 2007 Polo GTI would fit on a 2007 Polo Match??

I assume all I would need are the calipers,rotors and pads or are the uprights different too?

Cheers

Dan

hey mate.
they should all be pretty interchangeable.
you will however need bigger wheels to clear the discs. (bigger than stock 14s)

Can anyone else confirm as I have heard mixed reports on this?

How much power will you be wanting to reign in?

this should be interesting.

It may be a drama as the Match has a 4 stud pattern, and the GTI has a 5 stud pattern for the wheels, so finding brake rotors to match could be a drama. As for the calipers, the should just bolt up easily.
As to what power he will have shouldn't be a huge concern. Maybe he just wants bigger brakes the same way other people put Porsche brakes on their car for looks

. Its his cash, let him spend it how he see's fit.
