R32 brakes on Polo Gti???

**Gti Dave** · 01-08-2009, 09:35 PM

Hi guys, did a search for info on compatibility of R32 brakes F+R on a polo Gti and found nothing yet so forgive me if its been covered in the past. Does anybody know if it will be a direct bolt on? Any implications or problems? e.g. ABS, etc etc etc???

Thanks in advance.

hmmm.... I think actual physical space might be a restriction off the top of my head.

Why dont you ask Flaps about the R32 Brakes on his polo
Not many wheels will clear the caliper

Direct bolt on possibly need R32 brake lines, need bigger wheels to clear caliper though.

Would the 17" VW Exxor STP wheels be big enough to clear it?

Thanks for that. I will ask him. Cheers.

I know the Bora Sport wheels clear them
I dont think many other wheels do as the calipers are wide

You need a design where the wheel spoke curves away from the caliper
