ok so got my gti front discs and calipers from romocop yest and tried to fit them, but turns out its not as straight forward as i 1st thought, looks like im going to need, gti front hubs, wheel bearings, drive shafts and front suspension legs :confused:

Post by: danishmkvgti on October 06, 2011, 01:16:16 pm

I'n not sure about driveshaft but it's correct the rest needs replacing when upgrading a 1,6 FSI having the smallest brake setup where the carrier is integrated in the hub.
