So long story short I ordered a brembo 17z big brake kit for my 2015 2dr from my buddy Rob over at rotorlab.com (great guy, awesome company). I got the kit and everything was great until I went to install it. I went to mount the caliper to the knuckle and realized there is zero chance that it was fitting. The caliper sat so far back in the wheel well that the face of the caliper was almost flush with the face of the hub (pictures provided). It took some hours of hella custom modifying, but I finally got one side done and will tackle the other side in the next couple days. It will be easier due to the fact I now have all the measurements and know exactly how to tackle it. My question to everyone is what do your knuckles look like? Was there a vin split in Mk7's i wasn't aware of? Rob had said he reached out to 3 other mk7 customers who did the brake swap and their fitment was perfect and their knuckles look nothing like mine. Just looking for potential answers to help myself, rotorlab (or any parts manufacture and others for the future. Thanks!!
