heartagram Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I had to use GTI calipers. BUT I was also using GTI pads. I think with Sport pads you may be able to get away with using Sport calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish_Sport_16V Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Heart did your GTI pads come with wear sesnsors? did you just chop that cable off the pad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
