Do you know which longer bolts need to be ordered as I am fitting some S3 hubs to my golf in a week or so? Cheers

The alloy S3 carrier. As per the other reply i guess the brake caliper is in the same position and they have just added meat to the back of the carrier to give it strength hence needing longer bolts.

Apologies, i might have confused things with my terminology. The carriers will be the same, it's the hubs that are meatier only, you just need the longer carrier bolts that are used on the S3, i'll post up part numbers shortly :happy2:

Great, That's what i thought. So the longer bolts are for the hub to carrier mounting?
Everything else is the same in terms of wheel bearing etc?
