Mk5 R32 - TTs Wishbones and Big Brake Kit Query

(1/1)

Greigzy:
Evening All,

I am currently doing an underside refresh on a mk5 R32. The car came to me fitted with VW Racing / Racingline 6 pot calipers and 354mm 2 piece discs.

I have just reinstalled the front subframe with poly bushes, an updated arb and TT aluminium wishbones. When bolting things up earlier today I found that the ball joints now rub against the disc and I now seek options of how I get round this.

Is this a case of using a different big brake kit with a different brake offset? Or can I go down the route of aluminium front hubs from an S3 / Passat which from an initial look, look to give me a wider track (and perhaps space out the brake discs from the ball joints?!). Any other thoughts and suggestions are welcome! Thanks
