Probably not. Get some of those spacers they use on chop shop  :grin: they'll work a treat  :laugh:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Yes it can be done but you need to have a different offset for the front. I will try to find out for you as a mate of mine has a G60 brake set up on his Jetta GTX with ATS cups. He does have spacers and I think he also removed some material from the calipers, but they are on and working. A bit of work though.
