Hi!

I've been looking on v tuning and it states that v6 calipers on 305mm discs come modified, anyone know in what way?

I take it that standard v6 calipers and 288mm discs go straight on, no additional plates/mounting means needed? Or any changes to the v6 calipers that is apparantly needed with 305mm discs....

Thanks

the caliper mounting bracket is different on the 208mm kit, the physical caliper is the same

spigot rings are handy to centre the dics correctly
