Brake caliper Girling or OEM Volkswagen

Girling 60 on the Mk III 4x100 is the best bolt on bang for the buck. Make sure you get the girling 60 brackets/carriers too.

I have a set of NOS Girling 60 from Autotech garage sale on the g60 right now. Have been running them for over 7 years. Better pedal feel over the G54's and no changes need to be made to the existing Corrado (g60 or VR) mc.

I had a MK3 GTI VR6 that that happened to. I went thru several e-brake cables. Finally figured out the calipers were steel and they would seize up from rust. I swapped them out for some aluminum ones from a MK4 and the problem was solved forever.

I'd recommend sticking with the 10.1" brakes, they are more than enough especially with good pads. I'm running the dual piston Girling 60s on my Mk1, and they really need a bigger MC too if you haven't upgraded to the later 22mm. I have rear discs as well, and I ended up using the Audi 25.4mm MC because my brakes didn't engage until about 2/3 travel. Also the Girling 60s weigh a lot more, and you do feel that unsprung weight going over rough patches in a Mk1. Lastly, it's a pain to find wheels under 16" that fit with the calipers. I had to grind the calipers and run spacers.

Fresh rebuilt these where striped completely down glass beaded and then painted they need some touch up from being moved arpund but still look good haven't seen any brake fluid since the rebuild.

Those would be the Girling G60 (not to be confused with the Girling G54 that came on cars with G60 engines). IMHO too heavy and, at least over here, totally overpriced for what they are.

I'm not a fan of the Girling 60 calipers due to the weight of them and also the scarcity of replacement parts (due to low production volume).

AG pads so I assumed AG calipers. Told to order Girling.

G60's didnt clear the 15's i bought. Went with smaller girling 54's with 11" discs instead cause I liked the wheels to much. Ive heard the g60's are heavy pos anyways.

The girling 60's I own are to large and I've given up on wanting to use them. They are stupid heavy and its not worth trying to find another set of wheels just to run brakes that do more harm then good.
