    their 5cm too short

    where as the extra pair of pipes we have, when joined can give the extra length needed

    Mk2 GTi!
    I originally got VR6 ones, but the bit that goes into the caliper wasn't a screw in one... was some ring thing..

    Duno what to get next??

    Are GTi ones the same as the VR6? In terms of, its not a screw in one??

    Any suggestions?

    Ah, so the MK3 gti ones are different to the mk2 ones.

    The early VR6 ones will be the same, ie the 280mm vr6 ones, not the late 288mm ones as they are different callipers.

    the mk3 gti ones should be the right length.on a mk2 the unioins are mounted lower down in the arch.are you stuck with the mk2 kit now or will you be able to exchange them?

    Well

    The MK2 kit still looks new, only one of them was taken out of the box...
    I blew what I could out of the pipe and cleaned it up, so sometime this week, im going to see if I can exchange it... If not, EBAY!

    Guessing I will have to ask for EARLY 280MM VR6 ones..
