Looked at the 345mm R32 brakes but for not much more you can get a ttrs setup.
Can't wait to get them fitted this week.
They look massive when compared to 312mm standard setup.

The 14 kg TTRS discs with 370 mm are a bit worse than the 13 kg ML450 discs with 350 mm. The R32/S3 345 mm have 12 kg. With the TTRS calipers the best combo would be fitting the adaptor kit to use 345/340 mm discs. The Brembo Sport TT-S 340 mm discs just weight 10,1 kg. Pity the adaptor kit costs £ 260-270, though...

How much do the standard brakes weigh, just for comparison?
What about Leon Cupra R Brembos and discs? Is that a good option?
Paradox1:
I'm not sure the cupra R brembos would fit. by fit I mean the width of the disk. I think they are 323mm though
pudding:
Ah OK. I'm very OEM pro and like things to fit behind standard wheels without spacers :smiley:

That setup was used in the mk1 Cupra R, it has a different bolt pattern from the mk5 (5x100 and not 5x112). The mk2 Leon Cupra uses the same brake setup of the R32/S3.
