Default Rotorlab 17Z kit installed on the allroad!

Finally upgraded the brakes for the allroad today. Originally bought a set of used 17Zs for the front (black calipers with the allroad sport logo), but decided that I wanted to do front AND rear. So I looked online and found RotorLab's website, chatted with Rob for a while on the phone, placed my order right away! 17Zs up front with V70R rotors custom drilled, V8 allroad rears with custom drilled rotors. Very pleased with the end result!

I love the color combo, debated about red or black, and landed on the graphite with the white lettering. If anyone is seeking a BBK setup, definitely check out <a href="http://rotorlab.com/full-brake-kits">RotorLab</a>. Stuff is not off the shelf, so you do have to be patient. But for me, definitely worth the wait!

Default imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

Boston Driver,

I have just ordered a very similar if not identical setup from Rotorlabs and wanted to acknowledge my lack of originality and thank you for the inspiration..

Rob at Rotorlabs suggested that I contact you regarding wheel fitment... I plan to reuse my stock (2001 AR) 5 spoke, "twin spoke" wheels and was wondering if you had any insight regarding the need for spacers to clear the calipers.

Thanks

Malcolm
