Hello, this is a cross-post of my thread in the the Mk7 forums where I usually post. It occurs to me this has a better chance of selling over here. I didn't realize the same login worked across all the forums so look for me over there if you want whatever the equivalent of references are for a forum, haha.
So I'm just going to link to the original FS thread for these...

And the thread for those running them...

I bought these about a week ago (good communication and quick shipping from the seller, btw). After looking at things closely in my garage I don't think my Neuspeed RSE05's (17x8 ET 45) are going to clear these without a spacer. I have no issue with running spacers (I run them now to clear Brembo 6 pots) but with my added caster and ride height having the spacers creates rub, which I do have an issue with. As the two above threads mention, this uses stock 312 rotors [on the Mk7] so good for those non PP folks looking for more braking. Or just the looks, like me, haha.
The paint on these calipers needs a refresh if you care about aesthetics. If you don't care, or are going to tear it up on a track anyway, the paint is fine. The caliper > Apikol bracket bolts are correct but the Apikol bracket > steering knuckle bolts are short [for the aluminum knuckles on the Mk7 GTI/R]. They would, I suspect, work with steel knuckles (Mk6's, or Standard Golfs) which have thinner mounting tabs. Anyway, I also suspect the stock caliper bolts on [an Mk7] GTI/R will work. Since I have a TDI I don't have the bolts to confirm that.
The brackets (with caliper and banjo bolts) are $250+ alone so I got a great deal originally. And as penance for my haste and indecisiveness...
$500 shipped in the lower 48. SOLD!
