Carriers or hubs?

fab5freddy:
You'll need the longer S3 hub carrier bolts, as you've stated the alloy is thicker.

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.

Sorry i dont understand.... VWR brakes with S3 carrier? Makes no sense.

The S3 part that people replace is the hub carrier and the hub itself. The hub and wheel bearing is one unit that attaches onto the hub carrier. The brake caliper attaches to the carrier, not the hub.
