I take it you are using the A4 caliper, single piston, what is the size of the piston? I moved the battery to boot near side, cut the battery tray off the engine bay fire wall and welded it to the boot floor and fitted hold down bracket as well, keep up the good work.

Ah yes, forgot that when I did the original upgrade to 280mm (the disc on floorin pic) I swapped the struts for the early series 3 80 struts, identical in every way except they came with the larger carrier mounting
Yes still using 15" Ronal R8, had to take off 1mm from the inside bottom of the wheel as carrier catching (Get a pic later), the G60's I tried some years ago were far worse in this respect which is why I retained the original calipers until now... Piston looks similar size but pad area much larger and should stop the brake fade
