but when you get them on they're awesome..... both myself & F2Stu have done it

I've got std LC Callipers, Stu has SEAT Sport 4 pots

Not sure if they clear stock 16's - but you're welcome to try.

edit - they don't - and need 4-5mm spacers

how much does it cost you to have the 5 stud discs re drilled each time ? :)

Nothing - 5 minutes with pillar drill.

You'll need to take an ickle bit of the calipers to correct the offset, but its an excellant VFM conversion. Doubt it'll clear a std 20vt rim - with Seat Sport APs not a chance in hell.

you need the callipers & carriers, but you need to mill 'some' of the carrier away - about 3-5mm I think - i can't remember

Yes & no, the pad carriers will need machining back by around 4mm on a TT/Leon/S3/Octy caliper to compensate for the offset difference, after that it'll bolt straight on.

You'll need to use TT/Leon/S3/Octy hoses's as they have a funny banjo type fitting IIRC, not so sure how m0rk got around that one...

used the hoses from the LC, just adjusted the mount on the inner wing to 'take' the different style - but it secured properly, so all is well in legal land.

Thats a 7x16" Compomotive wheel, with sticky out spokes - clearence is mega tight, doubt any other 16" wheel would fit with the correct offset.
