I went to Loon's on Monday (nothing like a big job on your first day back 'eh mate? ) and instead of replacing my wheel bearings that were shot we replaced the whole hub assembly from my 280's to the later model 288's. I don't feel much of a difference in stopping power (And the discs are a little funny/need extensive cleaning methinks) but I do know they clear without my spacers anymore It doesn't look as good without phat wheels but meh it's neat. I'll be painting these badboys tomorrow hopefully:
These calipers clear my wheels by roughly.....1.5mm Oh, and the valve caps rub against the calipers! Stupid Tempe Tyres not putting curved valves on the wheels...
Stickers arrived recently so I stuck them on too:
Hopefully I'll update with some pretty, shiny red calipers tomorrow.

I've not been given any shifts for the past two weeks mate, so I'm surviving on what I have...nothing will happen for a while, especially seeing as the car is mechanically fine now, thank god..

Oh man, had to come back from the dead to say how freakin' dope your car looks with the front bar like that... I always intended to do that. Maybe with the calipers you could source some vw? decals and clearcoat over em??
hehehe
