oh i know what your on about now :). Seems from looking at the previous post that the vrs does have them so fingers crossed. Should be here next week but im off sking so wont have chance until i get back and TBH i probably will wait until the porsche calipers are bought and do it all at the same time. Cheers for your help lads :)

Just bought some TT225 brakes for the FR+. Front calipers & carriers, rear discs, calipers & carriers - £100, bargain! Can't decide whether to buy drilled/grooved discs now!

To fit the TT rear brakes you will ned a set of 6mm spacers, just so happens I have a spare set if your interested :)

think its the caliper that is spaces to fit in line with were the disc will be,best to check this though. also think that most people dont use drilled discs on here just plain or grooved as the drilled are prone to cracking

What's being spaced, the disc off the hub or the caliper carrier off its mounting? Cheers.

The caliper carrier needs to be spaced out as the quattro carriers are different.

Cheers Danny, as I've already bought some Zimmermann discs from GSF then I'll use them then! Did you see a difference in the braking when you did the conversion?

How much do you want for those bits Neil?

All this work for my wifes daily commute (6k a year)!!!

Did think about that, especially as I've got a plasma cutter & varoius other bits of equipment, but I'll have to get some 6mm plate, some longer hight tensile bolts & fukcin around, for the extra tenner or so I've just bought them! Not normally the type of thing I'd do but I've had the calipers cheap.
