S3/R32 front and Rear brakes do fit very easily.
« on: February 14, 2009, 04:30:32 pm »
From this....



To this  :happy2: :happy2: :happy2:







The rears will go on tomorrow.  And yes it looks like they will fit just fine.

The only PITA is removing the Centre armrest.

I thought that too, I used it for the Pressure bleed, so perhaps needs a few PSI.

Looking good Stokey, do you plan to leave them as they are or are you going for the red caliper look.  :drinking:

Going to leave them as they are.  They are brand new, so happy with them.

I have the rears to go on, then I will give them a test.  Then an exhaust, and then, off to Mr Revo!

The armrest.  You have to remove various bits in order to remove it forwards, over the handbrake, and also the Ducting for the rear vents is a right pain!

You need to do this to gain access to the handbrake cables, ready for the rear brake caliper change.

Could not find a How-to.
