Ta, I was going to do new from ECS but as usual the postage put me off.

Sweet, well I gues that gives me some incentive to buy some rotors

I reckon I'll wait for Lito's.

Thanks for looking Troy.

So, the Mk5's will work with the right clearance? You're trying with stock 16's?

I've wanted to try new calipers on my toy (as I have some noise when not on the brakes) and already running the 312 setup otherwise

Thanks Troy LOL.

They work with some 325ish discs and different wheels. I though it was worth a go.

Not many mk4/VR calipers on the market, unless you know if any?

The Leon Cupra R discs are 323mm 5x100 - so that'd probably work.

I bet it would but I'd still need some new wheels to fit over the calipers.

I needed an offset of 33 to clear my brembo's

I can help you there I'm selling my 17" Cayennes very soon and for $450+p&P - they've got 25mm adapters all round ($250), which is the equivalent of ET28 - they had loads of clearance over my brembos. Reason for sale is I've just got the most epic 2pc 5x100 17x8 wheels

I am not made of money mate! Our money tree has taken a battering since Christmas too. Dental surgery for the eldest.

I did $700 on tyres yesterday too. I am running 3 cars with the S3 and the family wagen. It's hard justifying having the Polo at all, I can't do another grand or so and still buy some more discs.

Thanks for the offer though.

I'm the same - bought too much stuff recently! Need to sell my wheel collection thats all!

Had another productive day today. Cut the grass at home. Went for coffee with the wife. Opened a bank account. You blokes won't care about that though will you????



Small brake delete carried out. As mentioned previously DBA 4000 were on special at GSL, $199 a pair. After the MK5 caliper fcuk up, got some 4 motion ones. Sprayed some black on them. Remsa pads from GSL again.

Bolted up and bled through.



Looking better and also retard the car well.

Then I was a bit lost and saw the spare engine. Several hours to go before work tonight. Pull the rods and pistons out and get started.










Polished up, rings removed and grooves cleaned out.
