True ^^^ ... the 340mmd discs fist under the S3/R32 existing setup just fine.

Got to say Im very impressed with the discs and m1144 pads so far  :evilgrin:

Just a little pic to illustrate the unswept area on towards the centre of the disc.

Racing pads never fit as well as OEM Rich and in fairness some OEM pads leave an under sweep....

Theres no lip either

I know the M1144s came with a wear sensor and clips on the back but they normally don't!

That disc looks in great shape though, got to say 44 is kind on discs....

Indeed... wear sensor FTW!  :happy2:

Still after another set of R32 calipers if you happen to come across any cheap. (i.e.... really cheap)
