kalv 0 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Guys,My initial enquiry into purchasing a set of these sounded a bit expensive (Front callipers inc pads for around £600) but I was still going to get them (credit card has been bashed) - but to my amazement the price actually included a whole set of 4 callipers with pads!I've found someone who does carriers/discs/hoses to make the front callipers fit, but what am I going to do with rear callipers?1. Will they fit?2. If so, am I going to have to rebuild the rear hub with bits n bobs to make them fit?3. Sell them on and re-coup some costs?Any help/advice as always much appreciated.

kalv 0 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Well it looks like I will have to do it that way as I've ordered the set... if it doesn't and looks like too much hassle then will probably shift them on. Link to post Share on other sites

kalv 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 The bloke who is machining my front carriers says he can also make me a setup for the rears.. he is currently creating a 298mm setup for the rear VR6 using the existing caliper and it should be similar with the porsche calipers but I can't afford to do both - costing me £700 to get the front setup done. According to him, anything is possible! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6BOY 2 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Check out www.mbt-engineering.de. They do caliper carriers for vag cars to run porsche calipers Link to post Share on other sites
kalv 0 Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I've decided to sell the rears... I only really need the front ones.. (currently on ebay) - 'specialist' said he is happy to machine carriers for whoever buys them for whatever car they need them on.. Link to post Share on other sites
