Post by: rich83 on April 05, 2016, 10:43:00 am: R20? No such car.

Do you mean mk6 R or mk7 R?

The NQSBBK will offer better performance then either of the above. Ask @rex (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2615)

With Audis 370 mm discs that aren't cheap or very warp resistant, since one of the discs has the air cooling vanes facing the wrong side, so it will overheat. :wink:

With those calipers it might be better to get the adaptors to use the 340 mm TT-S discs with 10 kg/each.

Fronts should fit. Rears wont
I guess they don't because of the handbrake?

OP or anyone else did you ever try this?
