Are they not just the 312mm brakes from the 4motion/ TT?

Either way if you've got everything I think that they'll fit straight on anyway it's the same platform.

Maybe just measure the disc to check man.

Also it is from the 8L (mk1 s3) model too and not the 8P I presume?

Happy days man. Bargain at 20quid. If you find any more send them this way. ;)

Also Nav I'm fairly sure they are just the vag 312. The LCR came with brembo 4pots that are bigger.

LCR has 323mm discs with Brembos in the UK. In Europe Brembos where an option. Useless fact of the day.

That sucks mate. I keep thinking about finding a nice set of s3 recaros. But then something else always comes up instead.

I'm cinda lucky the inlaw has a s3 that has had new everything, but when I brought my golf it all ready had recaro leathers, just need a few things now for a stage 2, then I can enjoy the golf at the min it's fat and heavy and slow :(
