Hello fellas.

Got some quick questions for you.

A buddy here in Greece decided to upgrade his brake setup (he has currently got a 1,8TFSi with 280x22) and went for the 345x30 R32 Setup.

Everything looked to go "OK" with the install until today. He was driving along and the retaining spring on the front-right wheel just sprang out of place and lodged between the disc and the rim. He`s pretty shook up about what happened (damaged his rim too). Do these springs get so easily dislocated? The left one seems ok - for now.

Could this be a problematic/faulty install by the bloke who did it? Or could the spring need replacing?

Any advice welcome

Cheers
