Brake caliper adapters with special wheel hub for vehicles with 5×100 or 4×100 bolt / pitch circle in order to install the rear brake calipers of Porsche 996 and Audi S3 8L /VW Golf 4 R32 , combined with the front 280mm Golf G60 brake discs with a total height of 40mm, on the rear axle.
In this case, the S3 R32 calipers have only function of hand brake. These are necessary because the Porsche calipers do not have the function of hand brake.
Suitable for the following VW und Seat models:
- Golf 1 (only with our axle pivot – see item 313 in our shop.)
- Golf 2 3 + GTI+ VR6
- Corrado
- Jetta
- Passat 35i
- Scirrocco
- Vento
- Polo 6N1
- Seat Cordoba
- Seat Ibiza
- Seat Toledo
Advantages of this brake system:
- high deceleration, also in conjunction with our rear axle braking system
- better performance
- supplied material certificate
Technics:
The Porsche calipers are mounted between the axle beam and the axle stub. The necessary screws are supplied. The adapters for the S3 / R32 caliper are mounted onto the original Golf MK2 /MK3 bracket. With our supplied wheel hubs, the 280 mm brake discs are centered and screwed. The track is wider by about 16 mm per side.The inside of the wheel hub is manufactured like the originals and therefore the wheel bearing remains the same.
Not permitted under the STVO (German Road Licensing Law). However, thanks to the material certificate supplied with the order, it is possible to register your purchase even for series vehicles
For the rear axle, we offer brake adapters for conversion to the Porsche brake system, combined with the R32 brake discs. Visit our shop.
For vehicles equipped with ABS, the ABS disc of all Golf 3 models can be kept and adjusted exactly on our hub spacers.

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
