How do!

Just swapped from a pre fl to a FL ocy VRS and I had R32 calipers and discs on my old car, that I planned to pop on the new one until....... from what I've read, they dont fit under Neptune alloys? so.....

Looking at Brembo nqsbbk, would these fit my car http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-981-Cayman-Boxster-S-Front-Brake-Calipers-/301809913548?hash=item464545cecc:g:QFwAAOSw5VFWMRbB  ???

 

Any help would be great peeps.

 

Cheers

Neptunes are 18" x 7.5 ET50 aren't they?  If so, they should fit over R32 brakes.  Even 17" should fit unless the offset is really odd.

I believe they won't fit.

The Neptune's spokes will hit the brake calliper.

Zeniths (pre-facelift) will b fine. It's spoke design has clearance.

yep, as above.  the neptune has a really annoying curve to the back of the spoke that means it conflicts with bigger brakes.  for the r32 some people have taken a grinder to the caliper to give you more clearance.  for the nqsbbk you'll need a spacer.

 

.. or just ditch the neptunes and get some better wheels - neptunes are very heavy.

heres a pic, this is the nqsbbk clearance WITH a 10mm spacer fitted.  without a spacer they'd conflict with the back of the spoke.

I do like my s3 brakes, time to have a think

Uprated pads instead ?

I used a grinder on my calipers before painting, only had to remove a little before they fit fine. Initially, with part worn pads they were OK, I noticed the issue when I fitted brand new ones.

I used a 3mm spacer with Neptunes and 345mm brakes.

 

Easier to buy a pair of 3mm spacers than a completely different brake setup surely?

True indeed, spacer it looks like, 88rsr can you point me in the direction of the ones you used please.
