its nice to have them back on again instead of the passat wheels.
feels loads nicer to drive on these wheels,handles better,accelerates faster,sits lower and doesn't rub on full lock :cool:

i had been down to the metal on the old pads,but i didn't want to go and buy a set when i had been promised these. :grin:

there only 13`s so i cant put huge brakes underneath them,but these brakes are more than adequate for the car.
although i would like to find out if i could fit 256`s under them

i know it would be a very tight squeeze but they might just go under.
