    Trigger pulled, full set of S3 calipers and carriers on their way.
    Will order the rotors and pads from gsl today.
    Will only be fitting the rears for now as I've only recently put on a new set of 288 fronts. Have to get a bit more out of them before wife will let me replace them.
    Unless someone in WA wants a set of T2s and remsa pads with 7k (1 trackday) on them?

    For those playing at home, DBA 800S (T2) rotors and remsa pads for the rears on their way from GSL.
    Figured may as well get the T2 rotors for maximum wanker value.
    Should all be here either this week/early next. Just got to find a pressure brake bleeder now to diy.

    Just beware that you'll need 2wd parts - the carrier offset is different from the Bora 4Motion gear.
    Just before I regret anything, does this same rule apply to the s3? being 4wd?

    If it doesn't fit I have Bora v5 parts in my garage to get you on the street. I am sure the stuff is the same front or all wheel drive

    I'm 99% certain my rear calipers are off the AWD bora. Replaced them 12 months.

    Even with the wrong bracket, proper spacing and some filing would solve the problem

    I guess we'll find out pretty soon. Hopefully will be here end of the week and I'll test fit them asap.
    Tdifan, we need to talk!
