They look massive under 17s!! Dont you have the rotors on the wrong sides tho?


Dunno, Ive always run the grooves that way?  you rekon they are wrong?


....Not necessarily wrong - My AP's grooves orientate that way.

I am with POC and RR, the grooves are there to peel the toplayer of the brake pad and the way they have them gives the grooves the best angle to clean the pads.

Unfortunately the offset on the bell is too much for the mk5  :sad1:

...however if a carbon ceramic setup from a Bentley comes up there mine.....  :evilgrin:

Could have new bells machined? Imagine those on the front of a gti!? Pretty good price too.

Then you have a problem buying the original Audi 395mm vented disc as they are directional buy you get 2 left's as a kit  :stupid: And on top of that pay silly money for them. Imagine making a disc directional and then not make a left and right version. Maybe they ran out of developmentfunding after they had done the left side  :laugh:   :grin:   :jumpmove:
