what size callipers are they?

they must be porsche front ones i guess?

They are 4 pot Boxster S calipers that use the standard 312mm disc. With the right pads they are a great setup on the Mk6  :smiley:

a few pics of the Ed35 at BVF where we also got leant a 5 door from the VW Press Office which got a lot less attention :)



















VW Press Office car



on way back took the car up Fish Hill by Broadway near Evesham which is always a great test for a car and in reality did show up the stock brakes and that in the tight bends is good but XDS is no LSD at moment so we will see how it copes with a vcds tweak

Your ED is a true stunner wigit, but please please cover the number plate next time, you never know who's lurking and it's better to be safe than sorry :wink:

The press office car doesn't look half bad, but next to yours no wonder it didn't get much attention... :cool:

Out of interest what suspension are you running as the drop looks perfect?

Suspension wise the car is running Bilstein B16 PSS10s as I wanted adjustable height and damping, the damping is a piece of cake to adjust

Tyre wise I was a bit surprised but heh ho

Wigit, the pics of the front of your car make the painted lower part of the grill look CG too, is it the light or have you had this colour coded? On mine it's Gloss black and on my MK6 it was anthracite. Cheers.

For those that dont know DSG is an electronically controlled dual-clutch multiple-shaft manual gearbox

Front is gloss black, carbon grey is not the easiest colour to photograph I've found
