I think you should give me the calipers and brackets and I'll be the guinea pig for the sake of the 8 P community

Not sure but looking at those brackets I think you might find they fit the other side of the mounting points on the suspension arm. So the bolts will need to be installed from the disc side through the arm into the bracket. If I'm right you will have to fit the bracket to the arm then the disk and finally bolt the calliper to the bracket.

 

The original brackets look quite straight from the inside suspension arm face to where the 4 pots bolt on. If you fitted the new brackets the same way as the originals you wouldn't be able to fit the discs. 

 

Oh and new bolts all round, re-using the old ones when they have been torqued up to 200Nm a few times isn't a safe bet

Two options I think

Caliper bracket is 17.5mm thick where its next to the disc........

Second one I'd say, with the brackets mounted as I described before.

I don't suppose anyone knows the dimension from the rear of the disc face to the face of the mounting flange the bracket sits against ?

Just been under BLUEY, Sean, and I can't get my vernier in to get an accurate measurement, sorry...

[T-800]

My plan is a little nefarious......

When I get the car back, I'm going to say to the dealership that they've fitted the wrong calipers when re-assembling everything
I'll chuck these in the boot, then say 'look these are the correct ones, now go fit them'

Going to be a squeeze mate. As Duke said, I do hope your joking about having them fit the callipers hahaha

[T-800]

Just looking at the bottom oem Caliper bracket the cut out where the disc runs is around 34/36 mm I think
The bracket 'tips' where they bolt up do look fairly wide, using the disc slot as a reference........
If they are 17mm ish wide I'm hoping happy days
If not it's a trip to a machine shop.

Well luckily you have a spare set of discs if the 1st ones get A-holed.

[P_G]

What's the worry, you'd get a bus in there let alone a disc next to that bracket!

Sean, did you have to the get the brackets from BKS in Germany or is there a UK distributor?

[T-800]

Hi P_G
BKS mate ordered online they took about 4 days to arrive.

Nice, should arrive around the same time as my calipers....

[T-800]

It doesn't look like I'll ever be getting the RS back, so mine may go on the TT instead.
