Default Rs2000 rear discs

Im breaking a gti that has rear discs. Will it go straight on my rs? Any mods needed different cable etc?


Also how do I find out what it came off as regards to getting discs and pads.

somebody must have fitted the rear discs to the gti as they never came with them, theres 2 options on rear discs either its the rs2000 rear beam thats been fitted or the st170 version, you can normally tell by a quick look at the discs themselves as 170 ones are shallow where as the rs ones are deeper as they have shoes inside the disc for the handbrake and pads outside for the actual braking which is a stupid design tbh and you will need the handbrake cable for sure

What colour is the Cab? A mate of mine had a Cabby he converted to an RS2000 spec throughout. However, when it was sold the engine was reverted back to a Zetec.
