The front brake calipers from a Volkswagen Golf 7 R, which typically fit 340mm discs, can often be installed on other models within the Golf 7 and 8 platforms. However, there are several factors and considerations to ensure a successful “plug and play” installation
- Brake Disc Size: Ensure the recipient vehicle is compatible with 340mm brake discs. The stock brake discs on non-R Golf models are usually smaller, so the larger discs from the Golf 7 R must fit without interference.
- Caliper Mounting Points: The mounting points for the calipers on the Golf 7 R should match those on other Golf 7 and 8 models. Typically, the MQB platform (which includes Golf 7 and Golf 8 models) has standardized mounting points, making it easier to swap components.
