You do not need the replace the calipers, unless your old ones are no good.

I need to replace the front brakes on my 89 jetta they are currently solid can I do the same thing. From what I have been reading I can. I will be replacing the calipers at the same time. Do I stay with stock of change the whole thing to GTI stuff. I have 13" wheels

just order everything for an 89 GTI instead..

actually, im not sure when they started using the 10.1" brakes, over the 9.4" models that you have, being that you have 13" wheels..

10.1" brakes dont fit under a 13" wheel..

i THINK they started using the big brakes on 90 model year cars..

so, as long as you order GTI pads and rotors, you should be good to go..

the calipers are the same.. the rotor and pads make up the difference in thicknesses..

I just ordered Raybesto's stuff from rock auto, pads look way too thick for the GTI ones but I haven't checked for sure.

Do you have them in your hands? They do not use actual pictures of every product.. so it may be an illusion lol.

Yeah they came in the mail today, I love the money I save but about half the stuff is wrong lol. Wish I'd of seen the part numbers earlier^^^, I used a '84 GTI for the model. My new rotors look good!
