mk3 golf gti rear disks on a nova??

[-fred-]

i was told that mk3 gti golf rear hubs and disks bolt straight to a nova? would this be true??

They are 5 stud drilling. People did used to fit mk2 Golf setup. Not sure it bolts straight on but it's probably similar hassle to doing the usual GM 16v conversion, only the brakes are a bit smaller/lighter than the GM stuff. Memory tells me the Golf stuff might fit by filing out the holes as opposed to swapping (grinding/welding) the backplate on the beam.

Not sure why you'd still use Golf stuff when the Corsa C setup is mostly tried and tested now, with the only caveat being a few mm wider track.

I know Protec sell bolt-on adapters to fit VW calipers onto Nova beams.

awh no problem, was thinking it would be hasstle to do but thought id ask, looking to put disks on the back of my nova so what way do use recommend would be the most straight forward to do?

[Iain]

Corsa C as above.

Sorry to hijack but is there a guide to fitting corsa c rear discs or is it just a case of getting the adapter plate like the astra ones

[Damo]

Iirc the corsa hubs bolt straight to the nova axle..

[millworm]

Result, if it's true haha

[mowgli]

they do fit, but you still need to make sure you have the brake bias set correctly, or you'll be going backwards into the first ditch you find

Got a wilwood bias valve here so hopfully it can be put to good use on them

Reference my build thread for fitting Corsa-C stuff, its not as plug and play as made out here. Also it widens the track by 8mm/side
