Went to fit mine today and the adapters foul the hub, did anyone else find this? There's a casted "ridge" along the edge of the hub that it hits. Bit of a downer.
Please allow me to dig this up.
I am building an A3 1.8T Quattro and for the brakes I am ready to install:
FRONT: cayenne 18z + 334 r32 rotors (using creationmotorsport brackets)
REAR: cayenne 4 pot with 312mm rotors (the ones that come stock on the front of the S3) with Fabless Manufactering Bolt on Kit
All is well until wheel clearance. I have a set of 17" and 18" TTRS replicas (ET35 instead of original ET33). Some people have fitted 18z under original S3 17" but with 20mm spacers.
I would prefer to keep 17" but have no problem with using 18". The issue is side clearance as anything requiring over 10mm spacer puts the wheel way out on the A3.
1. Can anyone confirm that for example Bimoto wheels would allow for clearance, no spacer required?
2. Has anyone used a bigger rotor to move the caliper more to the outside and so clearing more space from the TTRS spokes? If so what was the minimal spacing achieved?

You will get longer travel with the 18z but it's not massive. Piston area is larger than stock by 18% or so from memory. I posted the numbers in the brake thread.
Yeah I'm pretty happy with my 18z set up up front. I would like larger on the rear like posted above but always wondered if it would make for a terrible pedal
