Though I would post this for other users.

This kit is specifically for the MK5. Comes with single piece disks. 4pot calipers. SS lines.

I used to have the ST40 kit on my mk4 bora which were fantastic so I went for the same manufacturer. Also it was going to be a right chew on to make them kit when there is a BBK already. FYI the st40's are for sale

The kit says these would fit under 17" wheels which might be close but there was plenty of space under the standard 18" wheel.

Fitting was pretty easy although I did use a ramp. The worst part is splitting the union from the solid brake line but soaking this in WD40 made this easy to split.

Good instructions are provided with torque setting and pictures. I also put loctite on all nuts/bolts for piece of mind.

The whole job took about 2.5hours including bleeding.

Bed in procedure was easy too. I have still be taking it easy on them but they feel very strong from what I have tested.

See pics below for reference.

Hi , thinking about some brakes for my ED30. Could you tell me if have you needed any spacers or suchlike to make these go under the Pesky Pescaras, and does the spare go over this kit?

Also, what pads go with the kit, can they bought from anywhere?

Thanks  :happy2:

Oh sorry, i see you do say they fit under the 18s okay. Forget that question!

@nickg60

Not sure about the spare. Never gave that a though. I don't think so. Would probs have to put a back wheel on the front and the spare on the back.

Also the pads came with the kit. You can choose others if going on track but they seem amazing when I had to give a full test the other day on the motorway.

Also interested to know if these needed spacers.
