Just want to make sure this is all i need for the set up, guy is sellin them on another site :D

Think its a good deal, all parts brand new :?

Jeff, what were you having problems with because you had the bigger brakes on???

Quote from other site:

As above. I purchased these but have just bought a house so need money for other things.

2 new calipers and caliper carriers. These were off a car with delivery mileage so are basically brand new!!

Looking for £170 for them collected from Glasgow area.

Can also do them with brand new disks and pads for £300.

Cheers,

Andy

if you had something like a mk4 golf 150 then yes you just need carriers and discs...

but the polo ones are completely different... so you need the lot...

if you do the rears then everything is required again... except for the pads.. they are the same...

kenny.. do the rears aswell... they work great together ;-)

Spoke to the guy and am picking them up on Saturday, the carriers and calipers are off an Audi TT with only delivery miles.

The disks and pads are OEM bought straight from Audi still boxed.

Will need to paint them tho as am sure Audi ones are plain grey :?

Will do the front first then rears at a later time, my Milltek should be arriving today (fingers crossed) :P :P :P
