Hi guys, i've just bought myslef some S3 brakes front and rear. Will they fit behind my standards wheels or will i need to smooth off part of the calliper? I wanted to powdercoat the brakes before fitting so ideally need to know where catches before theyre painted.

Thanks

These alloys

Personally I'd never shave the body of the caliper. Are your alloys 17 or 18"?

18".

Its only going to be a few mm at most. Theres enough meat on them.

I've done it a tonne of times, you'll have no problems.

S3 with these wheels?

Thats good to know. I've read that S3 are slightly different to R32/Cupra and may catch. But was unsure which wheels were which.

I'm pretty certain that they fit behind Zeniths just fine. With Neptunes on the FL, you have to take off a little. So, you should be OK.

Thats what i read, but wasn't sure which wheel mine was.

Hopefully will be on next week then.

 

Thanks for your input guys

Will fit behind zeniths no problem
