    They are Toyo 888??

    They came on the rims as they guy had them as his track wheels on his R32

    Tires are stuffed anyway, cant drive on them untill I get new ones, so had to take them off

    Still need a little spacer to clear the brakes, just needs a few mm, so the car is back with standard brakes and wheels for now

    BTW I detect from your post that you may not be all together happy with the brake pedal feel??? If that's correct I have read on UK-POLOS.net that tonnes of guys who have done that upgrade have said the same thing with only the Audi fronts on. But the solution they hae all found is with the rears done as well it feels better. Food for thought
    Im a bit suprised here really, i tested the brakes and they were VERY good. And not to forget the new pads and discs have only done less than 20kilometers. That was merely to take the greeness away from them. Now even at that i felt the brakes were VERY good and will only get better IMO. It will take at least 300ks for the bed in process to take full effect so probably not the right time to be judging feel IMO. New brakes will take up to 300ks like i mentioned to bed in properly.

    Lower springs, we took the back spring out for the pic and let it down with the jack, just to play around
