They look very nice! Will you need spacers to get them to fit inside the front wheels? I did get some Brembo Junior GT 4-pot front calipers, but found I would need a minimum of 15mm wide spacers on the front which was too wide for me as with the lowering on the coilovers, they would rub the wheel arch liner too much, so I would have to raise the car which I don't want to do!iichel wrote: Tue Mar 15, 2022 11:11 am Update on the Polo Porsche brakes, all parts are painted, stickered, overhauled and ready to be mounted.
Adapters are from Epytec
I decided to take the rear brakes from the 'ZR17' set from Porsche for all axles, so 4-pots. There is an option to have 6-pots on the front axle too, but I think it's too much.
