R20? No such car.

Do you mean mk6 R or mk7 R?


The NQSBBK will offer better performance then either of the above. Ask @rex

With Audis 370 mm discs that aren't cheap or very warp resistant, since one of the discs has the air cooling vanes facing the wrong side, so it will overheat. :wink:

With those calipers it might be better to get the adaptors to use the 340 mm TT-S discs with 10 kg/each.

I guess they don't because of the handbrake?

OP or anyone else did you ever try this?

The rears are meant to work with the electric parking brake.
