Can i swap??

[zak]

So a friend has offered to give me his S3 brakes he got on his mk5 gti. I have the FL-Fr TSI.

Does anyone know if a straight swap will be possible or will i need extra bits and bobs.

I've not done a brake change before so a mate will be helping me out and would hate to open up everything and realize a nut shape/size is wrong or something!

Should be a straight swap. As far as I'm aware, the parts are all interchangeable. The front brakes on my Cupra are the same as the ones on the S3 and Mk2 TT 3.2.

It should be okay then. i think these brakes are actually the a3 3.2 ones.

Yep - pretty sure they are interchangeable as the platforms should be similar.
