i bet they are not exactly r32 brakes, look identical to them but alot of cars use these brakes with different sized discs aswell

my bet is its something along those lines, it would be too simple to just be r32 brakes

i think your right,  looking at my r32 brakes, both nuts are set in.  You can see the bottom ones are not.   i think the piston is bigger also.(r32)

ATE make the r32 brake calipers for the vag group. ATE also supply a lot of other manufacturers with they're brakes. So you will see that caliper design all over the place with an infinitely varying spec sheet when it comes to mounting points and pistons

They are for a Volvo XC90 running 336mm discs......... :happy2:

I just thought it was an interesting discovery which could open up the possiblities for members who are on the hunt for an R32/S3  Cupra set up.  :wink:
