    Yes, they will foul on proper discs.

          Hehe

          I know...dont worry Ive got new bolts and it was only the last numpty of an owner (or his garage) that rounded the bolts....they werent seized!!!

          and the cutting was a bit crayzee :mischeif: ....it was a bitch of a job with a 4 1/2" grinder and without damaging any surrounding parts or brake lines etc (but I think 9" grinder would have been too big and damaged a lot of stuff possibly)...

              This is Bry's new definition of 'proper discs'.

                      They might be a little OTT. I might need brake lights bolted under the bumper so they are visible when the back wheels leave the floor.

                        Those look awesome Bry, very tasty setup!!!

                        The guards will still fit, they just need a lil persuasion to be moved with a screwdriver to bend them away from the disc a bit.

                          Ant is correct. The splash shields will fit. There are some **** on the splash shield which hit the A8 rotors. Just beat them flat with a hammer, and then you need to trim the caliper opening to fit the new caliper. That is it.
