Ok..
Which side did everyone grind..

Especially targeted to yonas/dave


Ive read that you can grind the red side too... it easier as you wont need it to be 100% flat...

if so why doesnt everyone do it..

blitz if you don't mind me asking but have you changed the knuckles? because i'm having clearance problems as well but that's on my stock knuckles. i thought that changing to proper knuckles would fix up that clearance problems.

outer side of the caliper ( thats the one that touch the wheels)
I shaved around 3mm off to be able to fit my sprint hart cpf 45 offset.
but again different rims have different design of the spokes.

Other option is to run 3-5mm spacer.
But i still find that with some 42 offset rims , the caliper still hit my rims.

I have heard that rotor hits the caliper for some people thats why they shave the mounting face..

this would also centralise the caliper bring it in.. no requiring shaving on the out side..

Everyone has different fitment problems.. all slight but workable

add a 3mm spacer...you'll be fine.

were running a 3mm spacer and the ITR calipers just clears the EK4 rims.

save urself the hassle n buy 2 3mm spacer... will solve all ur problems.. no grinding is needed.. spacer are abt $10 buck each

i've done this same set-up on my car

is it necessary to run longer bolts for the spacers?

good option.. but your wheels might stick out like its the wrong offset..

3mm each side won't make the rims stick out from the guard
I've tried that before

But it's better to change to ITR master cylinder and booster as well

besides spacer are illegal ehhehe.. and im tight.. eheheh

im planning to run in on a std ek4 brake booster..

Aparently it ok.. but to better it all i need is the teg's booster...


If i was going for the ITR master cyclinder and booster i would have went for the oem twin piston setup and not single piston ITR....

Ill most proabably try a brake stopped to increase the pressure.. and maybe braided lines too..
