Hi Guys,
I found a good deal on some MK5 R32 discs, calipers shields and hoses for a 345mm setup replacing my 288mm disks which ill probably put on the back if I can.
Should everything be a simple swap no need for spacers or anything? I think the R32 brakes are also 6 pot whereas the standard ones on mine are 4?
Cheers.

Both set ups are single piston not 4 or 6 pot, should be plug and play, ttrs setup a better oem+ upgrade

I think he was going by the OP's profile which says he has a 2.0 TSI which does have 312mm discs on the front.

Cheers, Got them through the post today
I presumed mine were the smaller fronts as I know the rears are the smallest of the lot at 256 as i did the pads but these seem huge in comparison!
