Brake caliper adapter with special wheel hubs for all Golf 1 2 3, Jetta, Caddy 14D, Scirocco, Passat with 4×100 bolt circle to drive the rear brake calipers from the Porsche Cayenne and Audi S3 8L /VW Golf 4 R32 in conjunction with the 310x22mm brake disc from the VW Phaeton on the rear axle.
The S3 R32 brake calipers are only used for the handbrake function; these are required as the Porsche calipers do not have a handbrake function.
Adapters are suitable for the following VW and Seat models (front-wheel drive):
- Golf 1 (only in conjunction with our axle pivots (item no.:Â 313Â which we have in our shop)
- Caddy 14D (only suitable in combination with the adapter plate article 532)
- Golf 2 3 + GTI+ VR6
- Jetta
- Corrado
- Passat 35i
- Scirocco
Advantages of this brake system:
- Top deceleration values, no comparison to conventional rear brake discs
- A must for performance upgrades
- Material certificate is supplied
Technique:
The Porsche brake caliper adapters are installed between the axle beam and the axle journal, the longer screws required for this are included in the scope of delivery. The adapters for the S3/R32 brake caliper are fitted to the original mount of the standard Golf 2/3 bracket. The 280 mm brake discs are centred and bolted on with the aid of our wheel hubs supplied and the matching centring rings, widening the track by approx. 15 mm per side. The wheel hubs are identical to the originals on the inside of the bearing, so the original wheel bearings can still be used.
For vehicles with ABS, the ABS ring from all 3 Series Golf models can be fitted precisely to our wheel hubs.

Tips, information and advice:
- To improve ventilation of the brake system, we recommend removing the anchor plates/brake dust plates.
- For easy mounting of the rim, we recommend purchasing two of our wheel mounting aids at the same time >>go directly to the article here<<
- We cannot give you a generalised answer as to which rim size you can ride after your brake conversion. There are simply too many different wheel rims. For this reason, we have developed a template with which you can easily check whether the brake system kit fits under your rim. We have included a link to the template in the description. If your rim does not fit, you can simply use wheel spacers. >> Go directly to customised wheel spacers <<
- Install the adapter with the required components and then check whether new brake lines are required, as the old ones may not be long enough or the connection may not fit, depending on the model. Due to the significantly better efficiency, we recommend switching to steel braided lines. We have developed a steel braided line configurator especially for this function, which you can use to assemble and then install them according to your requirements.

- The handbrake cable must always be used from the installed calliper, which means that the new handbrake cable may have to be adjusted slightly. For conversions in which the original calliper is still used and the original handbrake cable can be used, you may have to route it more directly to compensate for the larger disc diameter and longer travel
