What will it take for me to install the ECS tuning rear 12.1" 225 rotors on my lowly 180 TT?

Is it just a case of getting the 225 calipers?....trim the dust shield?

Help a brother out...I dont have ETKA to compare the parts...and Bentley is about as useful as a fart in a spacesuit

Default Money is all....

Calipers stay the same...Weren't you here for this? Just a bracket extension along with their high quality hardware...:-)

Bolt on for any quattro TT

Default No I musta missed it...no real diff between the 180 and 225 then?

bear in mind the 180 is a solid rotor on the rear as opposed to vented on the 225...would that make the 225 caliper wider?...see where I'm going with this? ;-)

If theres no diff according to ETKA I'll do this...especially as I cant get big brembo's on the rear like I really want...

Unless of course I missed that too and you wanna enlighten me =)

Default ETKA shows same caliper but different carriers for rear brake

carrier difference should be only to accommodate larger diameter and wider rotor - 9mm vs 22mm. Brake pads are different as well.

Default

All 180s are solid not vented. The FWDs are a little smaller diameter too.
