Nice price wondered if they fitted?

Yup they will fit given wheel clearance.

ming · 15-06-2008, 15:20

No idea if they fit.

BTW, from the pics it would seem the carriers are not included.

Lummox · 15-06-2008, 15:25

Carriers are there.

jasc1988 · 15-06-2008, 22:31

Good bloody price then

***DGW*** · 15-06-2008, 22:38

£65 for carriage sounds a bit OTT!

mite be delivering them by limo..

Might you need 18s to have room for the discs though? Remember spotting a similar setup a while back and couldn't get confirmation on the wheel size required. Obviously you have caliper clearance issues too, same as with the 323mm Brembo kit.

Thought this was a 334mm setup anyway, rather than 330? Anyhow are you into the realms of brake cylinder upgrades to run these properly, or will the rest of the std setup cope?

On the delivery cost, it depends which carrier he's asked. I daren't think what the total weight of those calipers and discs are, as a complete 312mm setup weighs 28Kg...

17" wheels fit on the R32.

Shouldnt need master cylinder upgrade as you are now using four smaller pistons rather than two larger ones.

R32 Mk4 has 18" wheels, but i do know these will clear some 17" rims, mainly OZ and some Team Dynamics ones.
I've been looking at a set of these too but have heard that they are very heavy and are not great on the front of a small car. Even some golf owners are commenting on the weight and feel of the car with them on.
I'm still deciding whether to go for these or 312mm ones.

I was offerd a set of these off my mates TT 240 bhp.....only because he wanted my brembo's though......

They would be amazing on a fabia, and would fit fine (with a few modifications). Would say they have done more than 14,000 miles though. Just changed them on my dads A4 S-line (45,000miles), and the calipers looked in better condition than that. Maybe the discs have done 14k, but those calipers look tatty. I would stay away unless you get them near to £100ish.
Although saying that I could be totally wrong. I would go and see them before purchace them. If the car had only done 14k in 3 years, that means it has barely been used, and some of the rubber on the seals/pistons could have perished if not well maintained. Deffinately see before you buy.

Thanks
