What's the postman brought me today :D

[Mr Blue]

Damn they are nice.

Need bigger wheels now

[Jay]

260mm they are and fookin' expensive for the kit

But I'm sure they'll be worth it 

Lucky Cow

radial mounted too

you can change disc sizes without buying new calipers 

loverly buy , really like them 

[kittie]

Bigger wheels not necessary, I don't believe in anything over 15 inches on a mk2 I'm afraid!!

Hopefully getting fitted tomo, will post up impressions afterwards! It's almost a shame they'll be quite hidden behind my E30 alloys

Fingers crossed for ok weather this weekend for the Snake Pass Test 

[Jay]

I hope you plan on bedding them in before you do that!

[Diamond Hell]

What in all bu99ery are you going to fit to the front of your Golf to mean that 280mm VAG brakes aren't sufficient?

Those seem a little pointless to me, but it's your dollar.  How do they mount up to the hubs then?

[sidecarphil]

you get a nice alloy bracket that bolt's to the hub

like this



then if you want to get bigger discs you just add spacers and longer bolts

[kittie]

YAY they are finally on. They are awesome, no more sloppy pedal with the new master cylendar too! 

Had to have 3mm spacers on to get the wheels to clear the buggers, I was worried I might have scraping issues but thankfully it seems ok so far!

They look the nuts too 

The trackings all over the place at the moment though so have to get it aligned tomorrow, boo.

Also, the 16v hubs I got to replace my 8vs came with calipers/discs/pads so I have those and my 8v hubs to sell on now
