  1. Hi guys!

    I was wondering if i could fit thicker or thinner brake discs in my RS 265, ik OEM are 340x28mm, was thinking in fitting 340x30mm, 340x32mm

    I found ATE brakes discs, is it a good brand?

    - Can i fit VW Gti´s brake discs in the 265?
    - Does anyone know what bolt pattern should i look for when searching?
    - I´m also looking for the brake pads dimensions, what should i look for?
    - What is Minimum thickness, as its specified in brembo´s technical sheets?

    Cheers!

    - Danger! Do not use rotor if it thinner (<28 mm).

    if any thicker than specified it won’t go in between the pads will it be a tight fit.
