Actually, I did check their site today as luck would have it. I liked a lot of what I read but a couple things concerned me. Firstly, it sounds like it is front discs only. I'm sort of wed to the idea of four-wheel discs. They do say they do custom work, however.

Secondly, they say, "Note: Since this kit gives a 5-100mm bolt pattern, you must check that your rims will clear the caliper (inquire with the wheel manufacturer using a 99 and later 1.8T golf application)." I would assume the wheels I want to use would work since they are BBS wheels made for a Golf IV, Jetta IV, and New Beetle. But, I hate assuming.

Lastly, I would want to know what works suspension-wise and tire-wise with this set-up and the wheels I love. I understand I may be tinkering a bit down the road, like it or not. Not. But I don't want to start with a combo that doesn't even work.

Wow, I didn't realize that. That does sound like a big plus. I know I've seen ads in VolksWorld, but who would you get this set-up from? And what brakes and tires in combination would you suggest given my mioptic view of wheels. (Did I mention they were 16x6.5 et42 BBS wheels for VW? Yeah, about a million times, thanks.)
