Wrong offset, wrong piston size on the caliper, wrong centre bore.

Ditch em mate and get some proper r32 ones, the pedal will be crap with these.

The only common part with these and the R32 setup is the outer part of the caliper, the pad spring and the pads......

Cheers :happy2:

Cheers Dave   :notworthy: knew these were to good to be true. Glad I didn't pay much for them  :grin:

VALLE - I think mine are off an A6 Quattro. I'll get them on the 'bay, someone will find a use for them  :happy2:

Nah not really. Sold as seen  :sad1:

They'll be worth a bit on eBay so it's not too bad  :happy2: the drilled OEM Audi disks should attract some attention

Sold as seen shouldn't come into it. If they were actually sold as R32 calipers, the onus is on the seller to make sure they are rather than the buyer to spot the difference. If this was on ebay, you'd probably win a dispute case hands down and have your money back quick.

If there were advertised as vw/audi calipers only, then you've not got much of a case. Hope you get it resolved either way ;0

Thanks JPC didn't do the deal through eBay so got no ties to him. I got them for a very good price so I should be able to get back what I paid for them - actually selling them as what they are.

Good luck with recouping your funds Gray.

Hope that you source a set of 345mm brakes soon - as discussed before, they really are a superb upgrade for the money  :happy2:
