If you need the hubs, then you'll need the struts too i think

Are your carriers built into the hub?

The GTI calipers and carriers will fit straight on to a 07 GT TDI, you wont need the hubs.

As Joe stated, the GT170 has the same brake setup as a GTI
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

You thought about making it a hybrid, with the gti bumpers and such?

nah man....have lots of mods done as my signature shows ..would love ttrs or r32 front calipers but fetching crazy money so thought gti calipers would be a small upgrade on my standard diesel brakes but appears my 170 should have a 312mm setup already... :surprised:

GT170 has the gti front bumper but different grilles and rear bumper with exhaust cut out!
