    Yes. Seems to be the best fit with 2gen tt brakes. And you know, the color is absolutely perfect in my opinion for almost any paint color. It goes so well. Love it on that red! AND as you probably already know and would agree with me, they don't ever look dirty since the brake dust just blends right in

    Nice...im still first gen brakes, so it requires a bit of clearancing
    if you cant fix it with a hammer...then you have an electrical problem

    I was under the impression that the 2nd gen calipers were larger? Or is it the actual shape of the caliper that makes the difference?

    problem is how far from the center of the wheel the calipers sit. the further out the calipers are, the more spoke clearance they generally have (up until the point at which they are simply too big for the wheel). i have 2g calipers on my car, and i had to shave them to make them even work. if i upgrade to 355mm brakes up front, the calipers will likely fit without issue...simply because there's more spoke clearance.

    I can't believe no one has said Modas! They are my personal fav... the p45r's are a close second though
