Thread: 308 Brake conversion
Post: RE: 308 Brake conversion
I wanted to update this thread, in case anybody was interested in making this change as well. I ended up staying with the GTI6 setup for now.
But what I found out is that this set should fit any 306\... |

Thought I'd update this thread. I took out the headlights, opened them up and saw that the curved part of the reflector was simply dusty.
Very carefully I cleaned the reflectors, I also cleaned the g... |

Post: RE: Ph1 replacing dual bulb headlight assembly wit...
My car came with twin optics and the correct stalk as standard, as the low beam stays on when I switch on the high beam.
I guess I'll try to clean the ones I have and see if there's any improvement. |

Post: RE: Ph1 replacing dual bulb headlight assembly wit...
Reason for a new light stock is that when switching to high beam, it'll turn the low beam filament off in the bulb?
Edit:
Piggy do you mean a downgrade on looks or actual visibility? I'm looking to ... |

I live in Israel, and this was an XSI. I think there is just one here in this color. I know of a few 5 door blaze that exist here, though.

I need to replace my headlights, and found a new pair of H4 headlights for a very good price.
Will this be a direct swap? What I mean is will the original loom plug right into the new part and will i... |

Thread: 308 Brake conversion
Post: RE: 308 Brake conversion
I appreciate the feedback, but the thread is getting a bit off topic.
In the long run keeping the original setup will cost more. I would hazard a guess that the 308 setup is more modern, most likely a... |

Post: RE: 308 Brake conversion
The problem is that the discs for the GTI6 are very expensive here. Almost 3 times the price of OEM 307\308 discs. |

Post: RE: 308 Brake conversion
Thanks for the replies so far, guys.
I've looked into this, 307 brakes fit no problem and they use the same discs on the 308s, just a different caliper and pads. |

Post: Hello!
Hi everyone.
Had my ph1 306 GTI6 for 3 years now, and I just love it.
Sadly it's been off the road for a year and just recently was brought back to life. So I've been having a few annoyances with it... |

Thread: 308 Brake conversion
Post: 308 Brake conversion
Hi guys,
I'm considering changing the GTI6 front brakes to a 283mm Bosch setup from a 308. The reason for this is mostly the cost and availability of 22mm thick discs where I live.
I know of many peop... |
