Re: B6... A Working Progress

Just need the 7mm spacers needed to correct the offset and longer wheel bolts for the front. http://i1266.p...

There is an offset difference of 7mm between the TTRS and RS3 discs so depending which ones they are I may have to make spacers. Either way I may also have a set of R36 345mm front brakes for sale :D 4 ...
