NQSBBKLB - Polo GTI Setup and Guidelines, including what NOT to do.
Deako:
Thanks Dave for taking the time to respond and for the phone call.
You have been an absolute star, and explained everything perfectly.
The Boxster S rear setup (as previously posted above as well) does just appear totally inadequate. And due to the old design of the caliper brackets associated with this conversion for the Mk4 no longer being suitable (due to requiring a boss milling into the bracket), it just will not work. And will be dangerous.
Beddie:
These any good for the Polo mob? :happy2:

It depends whether the brackets have a boss machined into them.

Professor friction will most likely know :happy2:
Seems a different kit to Hurdy's? I gather his should have the boss on the bracket though?

they won't work hurdys calipers are the radial mount ones with a properly designed carrier for the Mk4 and polo and I think the Tarox kit uses Leon Cupra R 323mm discs , these calipers are axial mount with an adaptor plate I think
