if i remember correctly u need 2wd 4 pots, 4x4 discs, and 2wd hoses, the calipers need 5mm machined off the mounting holes so the calipers wont foul the rims and they fit behind std 15in rims

no worries ive no idea why people bother with the 4x4 calipers as they are single pot calipers the 2wd 4 pot calipers are much better and just as readily avalible maybe cause they bolt straight on where the 4 pots u have to modify slightly might put people off

2WD calipers DON'T fit behind standard wheels at all. Even with 5mm machined off them. Plus it's 4mm

You would have to have spacers on the hubs which would make the wheels stick out about an inch or so if I recall rightly.

Got them on my s1. They're worth ditching the standard wheels for imo.
