I did it - I now drive a 2003 Bora V6 4Motion

[Manaz]

How available are the standard R32 brakes (at realistic prices), and do they fit under 17" wheels (such as the Bora Sport wheels)? Are they a worthwhile upgrade over the stock brakes on the Bora V6 4Motion?

[Manaz]

Well, an upgraded front swaybar and Haldex controller upgrade was certainly worth doing!

Well, the next step is taken care of - I've paid a deposit on a set of R32 brakes. Should be able to pick them up pretty shortly.

The plan to move to 17" wheels has obviously gone out the window (since R32 brakes won't fit under 17s), so the next thing I'll have to look for will be 18" wheels. My current "dream" set are 18x8 ET35 RS10s, as follows:



They'll probably cost me about $5k landed, so I may have to consider something else

damn nice lookin wheels though.

[Manaz]

Yeah, they are very nice.

I'll probably get tarred, feathered and run out of town for saying this, but I'm not a big fan of the BBS LM wheels a lot of people are crazy about.
