I'd guess you'd just need some adaptor plates to mount the caliper to the hub carrier

Golfs with 280 brakes have 5 wheel bolts, what does that tell you!

As long as you can get a 4 stud 280mm disk, not a lot.

Main issue will be mounting the calipers to the hub.

Can get adaptors from Epytec in Germany for 280mm calipers

My point exactly! MK2 Golf G60's used a 280mm disc and they are 4 stud.

280mm calipers and carriers from the Mk3, plus adaptors, plus 4 stud discs from Golf/Corrado G60 / SEAT Ibiza, some pads, and some 15" wheels
