Post: Brake caliper mounting bolts

Never bothered either maybe they want the bolts to get changed because it's more of a hassle to clean the old thread locking compound when you get access to them!

S16 is both acav (150/155hp) and 167hp in France, I think they've only fitted the acav block in the ph1 over there. The saying goes that they weren't allowed to use Gti in France as VW had exclusive r...

Look at the paint code on the sticker, normally present on the inner side of the drivers door. Else have a look using service box, you'll definitely find your paint code there.

I'll tale pictures of the car before removing them (I think they are -30mm) and will know more about them after I take them off, all I know about them so far is that they are red!

If you only are going to change the springs, I will have a set available quite soon (as soon as I take them off the car, going back to std height in my case) for a cheap price.
