The rear should be 1KE, CII41HR-A caliper, 260x12mm rotor. 1KY and 1KV are 286x12mm. The larger sized brakes should only be on the high end trim level, ie GLI. As far as I know, the TDIs are all the smaller sized brakes.
How do you measure the outside diameter of a VW rotor?
However, sometimes both the rotor's outside diameter (OD) and hat height may be needed (see below). Flip the VW brake rotor over to its back and measure across to determine the outside diameter. 232 mm = 9.133 in 286 mm = 11.259 in
What is the size of rear rotors?
The options are either 272mm or 253mm from ECS or 260mm or 286mm from Pelican parts. Of course I called VW parts and they gave me a rear rotor size of 256 (based off my VIN). So none of the sizes I'm seeing are the same.
What size brake kit do I need for my rotor?
In most cases, by knowing the OUTSIDE DIAMETER (OD) of your brake rotor you'll be able to determine the correct brake kit. However, sometimes both the rotor's outside diameter (OD) and hat height may be needed (see below). 232 mm = 9.133 in 286 mm = 11.259 in 239 mm = 9.409 in 288 mm = 11.338 in 245 mm = 9.645 in 312 mm = 12.283 in

What are 3 types of brake rotors?
Let's review the four primary brake rotor types.Blank & Smooth. Blank and smooth rotors are the most common rotor type for passenger vehicles, like most standard sedans. ... Drilled. Drilled rotors have a series of holes drilled in spiraling patterns across the surface. ... Slotted. ... Drilled & Slotted.
Are drilled and slotted rotors better than OEM?
Given the choice between drill holes and slots, the drill holes will give you better braking power over slots for normal city/highway driving. This is why high end BMW, Porsche, Corvette, and Mercedes rotors are drilled, not slotted. However, for track racing (high speed stops), slotted rotors are the better choice.
Will resurfacing rotors get rid of vibration?
Resurfacing restores a flat and even surface that minimizes vibrations and allows for maximum brake pad friction.
Are thicker rotors better?
There's simply more mass to absorb energy (heat), so thicker rotors tend to stay cooler.
