hey guys i was wondering what differences there are between the brake setup on a gti6 rear beam and the 1.8.
i.e. are the discs the same? Hmm

Cheers

Iirc the only difference between the beams is the thickness of the torsion bars..

For what it's worth, most disc beams from that era have the same calipers and discs, 106, 306, possibly even 205 ones fit
