R32 Mk4 brakes

Featured Replies

I've checked the search and even use google search, but no avail :-(

Has anyone ever fitted these onto a Fabia VRS with 17" Spiders? (Or at all?!)

I read that with an Octavia, you've got to reduce the disk size slightly..............Don't wanna do that really..........

Cheers.

There is something floating around somewhere. The discs did have to be milled down, I imagine you would need 18" alloys too.

All the bits are pretty expensive too, I wouldn't bother tbh.

On a golf, it can deffo be done on some 17" wheels (e.g 17x8 OZ superleggera, VW Longbeach, TT Comps & 6 spokes :o ), but I don't think that Spiders are going to give enough clearance :(

I see no reason why it wouldn't work on a fabia - we can use 7.5" - 8" wide rims too...

Price doens't bother me, I can pick up calipers and carriers cheap enough, and discs/pads are as much as 312s :-)

Do you deffo know if discs have to be milled down for Fabias?

I have a HORRIBLE feeling that the Spiders won't clear either :-( I really wanna keep them too!

I'm tempted to bit the bullet, buy the set and try it out............Worst case scenario, they don't fit, I sell them on, right?

Not deffo, Ive just spent ages looking for the link, cant find it.

That's the spirit - if they didn't fit, there would plenty of potential buyers on uk-mkivs, cupranet and here (myself included - I'd love to get some R32s behind my BBS rims)

Given the probs people have with brembos on here, I really can't see them fitting behind spiders without spacers....

seller in this link states that they wouldn't fit behind his wheels on a fabia.

I'm assuming that no-one would be crazy enough to attempt this on standard, so will also assume (since everyone has a set), that he must be running 17" spiders :p

Not spiders, already messaged him ;-) hehe one step ahead.

Im sure iv read on edition that discs are mega expensive, and a very heavy set-up

Around 200 a disc. And they wouldn't fit under 17" spiders anyway if you did win them
