lcr brake setup . much work ?
« on: 05 February 2012, 13:52 »
I know that the front brembos require adaptors to fit the mk4 but what size are the rear brakes/calipers on a lcr and what sort of work is required to make them work? Does the lcr run 256 vented on the rears?  Thanks

Yes vented 256. Think it's plug and play bar the splash guards, need changing or grinding off IIRC.

Yep you have to modify the original splash guards or buy the correct ones that go with the 256mm set up  :smiley:
