I am about to order some slotted/drilled rotors for my S16 and am considering the GTI6 rotors as that are 283mm as opposed to 266mm on the S16. I know a spacer of 8.5mm would be required beween the brake assemble and the mount (is this even legal?), however the disk is also 2mm thicker at 22mm. Would this cause a problem with mounting?
I would assume this difference could be taken up be by pushing the ram in extra 1mm when monuting new pads (which would also push the outer clamp out by 1mm. The pads I have on would of easily worn down 1mm so the ones I have on wouldn't be a problem.
