   he asked
   
   " do they need spacers etc " as Its gonna cost more etc and i wont get them done on monday if so!

   as long as you are using a semi decent 15" rim you'll be fine. I've run them previously

   you will need some spacers if you are useing the 106\saxo calliper bolts but not if you use the 306 bolts.
   
   The saxo ones are longer so need a spacer or just some washers.

   I have standard Vts rims...
   would be cheaper to get the 306 bolts would it not?

   the brakes should fit fine behind the wheel mate without spacers i'm on about the callipers the bolts that hold the callipers to the hub the saxo ones are longer than the 306 ones so need a spacer to make them fit right or just go to Pug and get some off a 306.

    100% mate, it jsut a few washers that the garage should have thats all, the washer acts as a spacer which is why people get confused coz some people say u need spacers but realy its jsut a few washers that go on the bolts because if u dont the saxo bolts tighten before its agaisn teh caliper carrier so u put the washers on and its sorts it

    Thats what I did! Although no grinding of the carrier or strut, mine just bolted straight on, bar the washer needed to keep the carrier tight against the strut
