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...

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.

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. And yes, I'm talking about going from dual optic to single...

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...

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...

The problem is that the discs for the GTI6 are very expensive here. Almost 3 times the price of OEM 307\308 discs.

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.

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...

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...
