Anyone know if: MKIV rear calipers are the same as the calipers on a 225 Quattro TT? I'm guessing no

Some might work .....depends on what MKIV they came off....

I THINK that the ones off the 20th Anniversary and 337 GTI's and GLI's which use the same 10.1 rotor might work.

I think they are too narrow...

my buddy was given the wrong caliper from a parts store and it mounted to the carrier just fine but then we realized that it was too narrow for the thick rotors.

Some MKIV's have our 10.1 vented rears - not sure if the calipers are the same - but I would think

they are.

Re: Anyone know if: MKIV rear calipers are the same

TT225 rear brakes at 10.1" vented discs, while regular MK4 rears are 9.1" solid discs, so those would not work. GLI/337/20AE rear brakes on the other hand are the same, so those WILL work. Their front brakes are the same also (although my TT brakes feel much better than my GLI ones did...).
