951 brakes issues
Hello,
I have a VW 1303S onto which I want to install 951 brakes. I bought front spindles, rotors and Brembo calipers and a complete rear axle, which was disassembled. During the weekend I tried to put the rear axle together, and I got a problem: the calipers are hitting the rotors. It seems that there is a ~3mm mis-alignment. The rotors are correct (951 352 041 02), they came down from the same axle. Is there a spacer between the caliper and aluminum arm? I have read on one topic that somebody had a similar problem and somebody else asked if the 3mm spacers were put back into place. I added 2.5mm washers between the caliper and arm, now It does not hit anymore, but it seems 3mm would get everything right.
I have also read that the front strut mounting flange is different, thicker and the holes are at a different position? I can elongate one of the holes on the strut if it is so. Is the strut angle the same, or do I need to add more camber?
Now I also have the problem that I have 15" Cookie Cutters that hit the calipers, but the interference seems to be very small, I hope I can solve that with a 3-5mm wheel spacer. Or homologate bigger wheels, which is harder in my country (Romania).
