There's a few sets of BBK's that fit under the OEM 7.5" ET51, not sure which though I want to say AP 4 Pots. Maybe DaveB will pop along to clarify.
Really simple question,I just want to confirm before i go ahead and fit my new brakes. My 6 GTI which has 312mm, I have just bought a set of R32 front brake set up, is it just a straight disk and caliper swap, no different bracket needed?

Maybe DaveB will pop along to clarify.AP 4 pot doesn't fit under OEM 7,5" ET51 without spacers, only ones i know are RS4 B5 356mm setup and Tarox 10 ports 330mm. Unless you chose the Leon Cupra 18" rim, then quite a few BBk fits under
Ok thanks for clearing that up, I kinda thought that was classed as part of the caliper ( I a noob when it comes to brakes), Well i think I should be fine as this is the set ive got and it looks like the carries are pre-attached to the calipers.

If you're doing this yourself, then make sure you pay attension to how your stock CALIPERs come off. Your new 345mm setup bolts back on the same way.I didn't pay attention and bolted the CALIPERs on the wrong way round! Make sure the bleed nipple is at the top of the caliper.Are dust shield an MOT requirement? How would people with 4/6 piston CALIPERs pass then?

AP 4 pot will fit behind a standard Monza - this was one of the reasons I bought them (pic courtesy of Robin )
