Great stuff really appreciate it any issues i should knw about fitting apart from wheel clearance. I Think i should have enough clearance but if not mines a quattro and ive heard off a few people not to space out as could damage diff or is this nonsense.

I've used Bigg Red before and they were excellent. If you send them the old bits you're replacing they'll send you exact matches back.

Replaced all the seals and bushes and was less than a quarter of the price Audi wanted to charge me.

mine are t fitted yet. They're lying in the garage waiting on me getting a spare day. Spacing wheels on a Quattro won't cause any issues. I have 19s so I'm not too worried about clearance

Yeah I had a set of B5 callipers but never used them because i dont like spacers but i was running 18" et43 rims audi. And i believe its a min of a 3 mm spacer to be used ang average 5 mm so I brought a set of B6 set up these are a direct fit no spacers required the callipers disks,pads lots more expensive but just looking at the callipers they are so much better than the B5 set up there's a few people on here who have actually said the B5 set up ain't that great because generally the callipers ain't that good....The improvement the B6 set up made to mine was so awesome felt so much responsive it was untrue I've now sold my car so selling my set on the bay worth every penny in my opinion good luck
