    Hi Guys

    Yep looking at the picture, I doubt 345's would fit the 330's however should

    As for the big big calipers, they are the same as the Audi Q7, VW Tourareg and Porsche Cayenne. They are brand new though not reconned

    do the calipers also stick out more towards the rim as well (compared to the stock ones)? The curve on the spoke is not that great, all depends if the wilwood caliper is much bigger in terms depth.

    Depth wise they are about 8mm slimmer

    oh right.. well they should fit in that case.
    i reckon the standard calipers would still clear the spokes if they were on 345 discs. If the Wilwoods are slimmer I think they will.

    Hmm, I might be a bit late here.

    I have a GTT with R34 GTR wheels, GTT calipers. Was thinking about the 345mm front kit with the 322mm rear kit. I guess both of those will fit as you have a picture of a R34 GTR wheel with a 345mm kit posted.

    I'm trying to work out what the kit comes with - is it disks, brackets and bolts?

    I read another thread somewhere about a problem - the bracket wasn't great originally, the standard caliper needed to be shaved on the corners? But you solved this?
    Cheers,

    John

    Hi John

    Nah your ok to hop in

    Yep both will fit, I haven't really tried it with GTT calipers though, but can't see any issues arising

    The kit comes with discs, bolts, brackets, caliper spacers and instructions. The only thing the kit doesn't come with that would be beneficial is braided hoses

    As for the bracket, it's been redesigned so there shouldn't be any need for shaving.

    Cheers

    I am without doubt going to buy some..
    just bought some motul dot5.1 and complete braided line kit ready to drop the whole lot in together. (yes i know it comes with front braids but i can sell the spare set on)
    (just getting the money together for the wilwoods and deciding whether to risk the larger 345mm kit and try using some small spacers on the front to accomodate them)

    I tried to send you one a couple of days ago. Now I check I can't find a record of it? Must be my computer playing up.

    Basically I just wanted to know if the grooved 345 disc is grooved, or grooved and drilled?

    And are the stainless lines braided ones?

    Once I know I can order :-)
    Cheers,

    John

    I'd have jumped in too, but had already bought new discs 2 weeks before the thread started
