Title: S3 8V brakes?
Post by: xs2man on August 24, 2016, 07:24:22 pm

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has fitted S3 8V calipers to their mkv?  Do they fit?  Is there any / much difference to S3 8P brakes?  Better or worse?

I'm looking for an upgrade for my ED30 before putting down more power, so just looking at my options.  I don't want to go down the Boxster calipers route, but am thinking more R32 / S3.  But wondering if 8V makes much difference (as calipers are newer).

Yep, I'm halfway through getting it sorted...
