i am mega happy mate and we all know VWR wont sell crap that they can not test to death on the track and on the road so even if you want the older vwr brake or the new ones like me you cant go wrong at all  :notworthy:

Today i just payed for my VW Racing brake kit. I own a 2009 Skoda Octavia vRS. I got my calipers painted in custom blue. Hope to receive them next week. I can't wait, i've waited  2 months for them

Sorry for my english, i live in Romania

MATT, what's the offset of your alloys, and what is the recommended offset for the kit to have enough clearance?
