R32 full front and rear, just need a clean by the looks of it!

Id make him an offer... youll probably want to get new pads and discs too!

If you dont want/need the rears sell them on here for 200-250 quid and you've just had yourself a little bargain!

I've got the S3/R32 set up on the front of my GT-TDI, it's a great upgrade with a massive improvement. Also not too expensive and easy to get pads and discs for!

Ive still got that RS4 B5 kit you can have for 220 quid the 360mm discs would cost you 400 and the pads about 80.

Powerful stoppers - big disc - good choice of pads without the pedal issues of some "Mk5 BBK's"

TC has them fitted to his car - seems pleased

The R32/S3 caliper uses a short rigid extension (from the caliper to the brake hose), the GTI (Std) uses a banjo bolt arrangement.  Hence the different requirements.
