Nice! Good to know. I thought the brembo pads had no wear indicators for some reason

Also does anyone know how to find out what size discs I have? There seems to be a choice between 212mm and 232mm. At the moment I think the pads are the wrong size as the outer 20mm of the breaking surface on the disc is rusty. I'm by no means an expert but it looks to me like the pads are for the smaller discs?????

I'm a clown! Thanks for pointing thatout. Just found a thing saying some are bigger at 345mm. Do you know what that's about?

345mm sounds like the s3 brakes. need bigger calipers to run them.

If you give the supplier your reg number against the set you want they'll tell you whether they fit or reccomend another size. I thought the edition 30's and pirelli's ran the 312mm fronts and the 345mm were for the R32 fronts. The gti's had the 288mm with the upgrade of the 312mm? If I'm wrong I appologise
