Ok Starting a new thread for NQS Rear Kit...its really no biggy but cheap and works.....

[Biano44]

Hi guys,
I've just ordered the NQSBBK fitting kit from Dave, still trying to locate the Porsche calipers.
What I want to know is, I have a 2008 GT SPORT Golf 2.0 TDI 140. What will I need to fit the kit and the calipers to my car?

312 discs..... Obviously
New pads..... Possibly

Anything else though?

I'm no mechanic so I need all your help.
Cheers.
Matt

Try contacting Jonny at brakecaliperrefurbs.co.uk via email, I believe Dave said he may have some 986 Calipers ready refurb'd which he may sell.

[Biano44]

 .......thanks for the link. I had seen them but with the refurb costs on top it would work out quite expensive.

Good news though, I spoke to Dave and Jonny today and between us all we have formulated a plan and if it works they will look awesome!

I need spacers to fit the nqsbbk behind my Pescara (Rockingham) Edition 30 wheels. I saw that HR has some 8mm and 10mm hubcentric. My questions are:
1. Will the 8mm clear the calipers?
2. Will the 10mm spacers make the wheels hit the wheel arches under stress (stock suspention)?

2. Will the 10mm spacers make the wheels hit the wheel arches under stress (stock suspention)?

I cannot answer your 1st question (but guess it will clear).
Unfortunately with spacers of 10 mm you'll have effectively ET41 and this most probably
will cause rubbing issues on hard cornering.

Do you have any suggestion not to rub the tires in the fenders and still have the nqsbbk behind stock pescara wheels?  
Is there a chance with the 8mm spacers (so virtually ET 43)?

Even on stock height?

I'm pretty sure they will clear with 8mm spacers. But will have to wait for someone with Pesky's to confirm.

I have 12mm spacers all-round (Monza II's) and lowered on H&R springs (30mm drop). I did the screw mod on the front and now no rubbing but I do get some rubbing at the rear over humps and dips in the road, when the car is full (as I found out last week when there were 4 of us including my 18 stone mate in the back...the rubbing was only happening on his side )

Even on stock height?

Contrary to popular believe ride height does not affect the path the wheel travels on.
Of course at stock ride height it'll rub less often, but it will.
