Only thing you need is carriers and discs

Post by: garfayliu on 08 April 2012, 14:30: I think you'll also need some spacers to stand off the new carriers from existing mk3 hub. I think it's 6mm from when I did mine a while back.

Post by: JimBR on 09 April 2012, 10:38: I emailed the guy about a set before. The disks and pads that come with these are EBC.
