somebody here had them, I forgot who it was though. Probably need custom brackets and I thought you needed 19' not 18' wheels but I might be wrong. Amazing brakes though. Expensive to replace discs and pads though

I know a car that has them. They fit with 19" but only just (in fact they needed to be adjusted on one spot that touched the inner rim) and the smallest disks the workt with are in the 36x region and are very expensive.

Think Poverty has fitted them to his TT RS

Says in the text of the sale that these are the rear calipers off a R8 so are 4 pot Brembos... all the gear is included in the sale and he says they fit under 8x18 wheels so you should be fine with your 19's.

As above though, i'd be thinking about the cost of replacing disks and pads in the future... may be worth asking the seller where he gets the disks and pads from and how much they cost.

emailed the guy and he said theres plenty left on the disk and the pads are 140 150ish for ebc replacements but theres stil abit of life left in them does anybody know how much they roughly go for?

Sorry but if you buy a serious kit you dont go running EBC pads. The OE pads will be designed for the abuse they SHOULD receive, as in on road they would be a complete waste, on track is where a kit like this is meant to be.
