another mod to do then if pads/rotors/calipers just bolt right on then
just make sure to check wheel sizes and offsets.. but yes the caliper bolts up ive had mine for more then a few years now without issues.

now this might be blasphemy, but i kind of want to add the roof rails from a 6 wagon to my p5. it would require drilling of course which is the bummer. i dont like the standard rack because it was real flimsy so i got rid of it, and a regular thule rack kinda sits far forward and doesnt have a huge span between the rails. could make up a nice cross bar spread and looks pretty nice i feel

Why not put p5 rack on??
Check the fs threads for my rack later today.
Installed yellow speed coilovers yesterday, need to raise the rear i bit because it rubs and lower the front a bit because its too high for my liking

Interestingly after my ride home the caliper that was sticking didn't seem to be sticking anymore.
I still took off both rear calipers to see if I can spot anything out of the ordinary. The slide pins and the pad shims on both calipers were in good shape, but I cleaned and lubed everything while I was in there because it was all pretty grungy. The one thing I did notice was that the left caliper's piston doesn't slide in and out as well when using the adjustment screw. In fact, to get the caliper to fit back over the pads I had to manually push the piston back in after turning the adjustment screw all the way counter-clockwise. I suspect that's a good indication that the caliper is on it's way out, right?
The worst part is that it's only been 1 year and 3 days since I installed them

Got confirmation the I totaled the p5 last saturday
Sorry to hear. Glad you're alright though.
Is this a confirmation that you're parting some of the salvageable pieces out?
If so, please PM me before posting a FS thread.
-thanks!
He had mentioned in another thread that he had no time for a part out. Can't blame him though. Things can be rather hecktic with a newborn. I would really like to get his doors from him though.
Lately? Damn things have been failing since 2003.
