Austins w/ APR BBK

[tpellegr]

Hi all. I just emailed APR who confirmed their 6-Piston BBK w 350x34 Rotors will not fit inside the stock Austins that I use as a winter setup. Anyone have any experience with fitting the Austins with a BBK using spacers? Would like to avoid (if possible) buying an entire replacement winter setup.

Here's the link to the kit I am running.

the factory wheels will not fit a BBK without spacers.

Thanks, just wondering which spacers to get. Looks like I'll have to test mount and take my best guess.

I had to use a 10mm spacer with my ST-40 kit when I had my Austins.

Thanks, will use that as a starting point!

Thanks, will use that as a starting point!

Also, make sure that whatever brand you choose to go with, that they are hub-centric spacers. I went with H&R and recommend those.

I have Macan BBK and plan on running 15mm front spacers with my Austin’s for winter setup. If you run 15mm front/20mm rear it sits nice and flush too.

42 Draft even have 8mm spacers if you want

Edit: Just ordered the Spulen kit from USP.

These will make a huge difference to your braking. Great quality BBK.

Waiting on Apex wheels to launch there 17x9 SM-10’s which clears this BBK.

Are they're any bbk that do fit under stock Austin or Milton wheels? Without spacers?

I don't think a 355m kit will fit under the Austin wheels. with my stoptech st40 kit i had to get the 328mm kit, and absolutely love the st40 setup by the way, one of my favorite parts of my car now. i run SRF fluid and titanium shims and even with 480whp i can't get these brakes anywhere close to fading. it requires 10mm spacers too which were easy and i think the car looks cooler with them anyway. I don't understand the aversion to running some small spacers?

if it were me I'd get stoptech and not APR personally. the st40 kit uses porsche big red sized pads so you have virtually infinite pad selection options, and with stoptech kit you can swap the pads out in like 1 minute without taking the caliper off the car, just pull the pads out the back of the caliper, so easy and fast.
