ok, So this is where we are at at as of tonight (excuse my camera skills) Bolted up in place    Spot on   Fot the Eagle eye'd i will be running washers this was just a dry fit    Still on the jack here, im no 4x4   As for cyclones they fit under perfectly, but the dish on the wheel is too much. I think with some spacers they will be fine. Once im up and running i will find out exactly but it will be somewhere in the region of 7-10mm   ________________________________________ Life is a lie.

As for brackets etc, yes it will happen. Won't happen for a month or so as i want to get them on properly and road tested first. What i will most probably do is make a "fitting kit" which will include everything you need bar the caliper and pads. Hopefully the kit will consist of: Brackets Hoses All bolts Fitting instructions. But untill i am 100% on the kit working and not going to cause any problems im giving nothing away. Don't need the hassle or trouble of someone crashing their car and blaming it on me. Test day will hopefully be Castle Coombe on the 6th of september.  ________________________________________ Life is a lie. The only certainty of which is death. Go live and enjoy yourself.

Looks awesome ... welly doneIs the pad height smaller than standard? As it seems to sit out a little.. Might be able to shave 4-5mm off bracket? to bring it towards the hub a little? But then again... more clearance issue with cyclones  ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6NV Motorsport Automotive Performance Tuning 0121 448 7515 ECU Remapping/ DPF removal VAG/BMW Diag and Option Coding Peugeot Planet ECU coding/transponder programming etc www.nvmotorsport.com Facebook Page Project S6 |

Paul, don't the 305mm 406 discs have a bigger offset which in theory you could still use with 15" wheels, and give enough clearance without the need for spacers?________________________________________  Seat Leon Cupra FR / 306 GTI6 / Breaking 205 GTI6 / Caterham 7 / Mercedes Sprinter 311CDI LWB Sold: Fisher Fury - Laguna DCI Estate - P1 306 XSI - E30 BMW 325i Baur Convertible - Daihatsu Fourtack - Suzuki GSXR600 - 205 Rallye |

In theory yes, In practical terms no. The 406 disc has no offset so would push it further into the wheel side ________________________________________ Life is a lie.

Pretty sure the 307 285mm discs have more offset though, certainly mine have quite a lot more than a gti6 disc.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
