wilwoods from a 106gti

[puglove]

Would a wilwood conversion from a 106 gti bolt straight onto a gti6??

[Eeyore]

for anyone who has to look it up like me its a brake conversion kit

[Grant]

I would believe so, as a popular mod on the 106 is to fit either '6 brakes or DT brakes. This would lead me to assume the mountings are the same, so i would hazard a:

Yes


Worth double checking though.

[Midnightclub]

I would guess that the mountings would be the same, only issue you may have is spacing depending on what wheels you'll have on the car

[ginge191]

I would also say they would fit.

I know the standard DT brakes as grant said are used as a 106 upgrade as my friend used my old set as spares..

I would assume the fitment would be fine. May be worth chucking Wilwoods an email?

[Grant]

Your running clones right? If so then no... As midnight said, the spacing wouldn't work...

[Scott]

You'd need some 13mm hubcentric spacers, but as said the fitment is the same

[Grant]

You'd need some 13mm hubcentric spacers, but as said the fitment is the same

To get them under clones?

[Scott]

Yeah dude

The 13mm spacers are around £80 a set I believe...Carl at CG Cars in Leicester used to sell them to go with the fitting kit of the wilwoods.

[Grant]

Interesting. I needed about 50mm of spacing to squeeze those brembos under my clones, and if a stone went in there it woulda been disasterous.

This is a good route for me to start investigating then...

Nice one.

[Scott]

Tell a lie, Carl sold the 13mm spacers and you can actually fit them with 11mm spacers

[Niall]

106 gti will woods are actually smaller than brembos....and better. Bit limited to pads though.

11 meter spacers!!!! Daymn

[Scott]

Don't know what you're talking about

[Grant]

Jesus, this is going to be expensive. Are wilwood at FCS? lol

[puglove]

Sorry should of stated that i knew about the spacing issue on clones, as the wilwood the lads run on the 6 forum have the same issue, so a yes on the mountings then?

Whooooo got myself some wilwood four pots for the winter conversion

[puglove]

ok boys and girls whilst we are here will 106 coiles fit a 306? I no 205 ones do so worth a quick as me thinks

[swampy]

Yes the106 willwoods will fit but 106 hoses are totally incorrect and standerd hoses won't fit willwoods as they have a taper fitting on the caliper end

Good news is I can supply the correct hoses with the correct fittings at a very good price £28.50 the pair deliverd
I supplied the ones used in the group buy on the gti6 forum several years ago

Just out intrest mate what will a set up set you back now days?

[swampy]

I Can't get the calipers at a discount but can supply the correct hoses

[puglove]

Could you point me in the direction of new ones?

[cwspellowe]

Coilies won't fit, completely different mountings at the base iirc

[mark_airey]

No they won't the 106 strut is one piece with the hub IIRC while the 205 ones are the same design as the 306 just altered slightly

Edit:- 106 front strut

[puglove]

Ah yeah totaly different

[mark_airey]

Yeah your not making that fit in a hurry

[puglove]

Give me an hour with a angle grinder and a hammer and i will have them fitted

[Rippthrough]

Rally design.
