Doesn't matter if it's for a genuine reason or not, 35mm spacers are f*cking stupid.
Extra stress on wheel bearings, steering joints, f*cking up all the geometry... Meh, IMHO if you enjoy your car, and actually enjoy driving it rather than it being a penis extension to show off how many ridiculous parts you can add to it... Stop making it worse just to fit parts that really aren't required and you can't do justice... You've STILL not sorted the CHRA rotation issue which everyone has pointed out is an issue, you've popped one turbo due to it and you'll pop another - go read any Garrett documentation and they'll say the same thing, 30* you might get away with, but not 90* even if you do have a downwards kink in the return.
I can predict the story now - fitted brembos, squeel like f*ck, dunno how to sort, now I've f*cked up my wheel bearings and have spent all my money on arch extensions and spacers so can't sort it...
Just put GTi6 brakes or 206 GTi brakes which are thicker on, sell the brembos and just put in some decent pads. You don't need brembos - from everything I've seen of the 406 ones, they're a bit shit anyway.
