Title: just a quick one for some advice on brakes
Post by: TForrest94 on May 25, 2014, 08:50:11 pm
Just been offered a set full set of r32 brakes everything included apart from the rear dust shields came off a 42000 mile car for 350, am I right thinking this is a steal??

They are off the car so on lick up s there anything I can look for before buying? Or just try and get a bit of insurance from the bloke case theres a problem?

Need some info asap to secure them anything would be appreciated
As always cheers in advance

As the others have said it's a great price!

The R32 dust shields dont fit anyway IIRC, you can slightly bend your old ones to fit  :happy2:

You will need R32 / Audi S3 brake lines though, these are about £35 from a dealer

Great deal and the brakes are great, get braided hoses for them for about £75.
