Post by: Wayne on 13 October 2011, 21:49: Well some guy on the Skoda forum has fitted 312mm rears.

However what is the point you will only end up with a braking imbalance.

The rears don't do a lot of work.

Don't really see a point in the rears tbh, little work the rears do in braking and to do it for looks seems petty unless you want scene points which are traded in for women not wanting s3x with you :grin: :grin: :grin:

I'd upgrade the hoses with the goodridge kit (front, rear and mid section) and uprate the brake fluid, you would be surprised in the change and how much harder you can hammer it.

Post by: jamie16v on 16 October 2011, 22:45: agreed, i am leaving my disks and calipers alone.. apart from perhaps give them a service.
i will perhaps somtime upgrade the pads and hoses though ..

It is 5x112 the only Audi's that are 5x100 were the early TT and A3.
