I'm fairly sure the R32 disks are wider than standard so the NQSBBK will not work with them, you'd need to go back to the standard GTI disks.

Search the NQSBBK thread and read on.............................. :wink:

You can use Boxster S calipers with 330mm Mercedes brake discs, but my understanding is that there is not enough extra brake force compared with the 312mm NQS BBK set up to justify the extra weight.

Think a few guys are using the Audi R8 4 pot calipers along with the R32 345mm discs
