OCTAVIA 2 vRS - upgrade in progress - now 4x4 :D
Bogdanbd:
THX everybody for your answers!
I have decided not to take them.
But still I would like to make some kind of an upgrade to the front brakes and I'm thinking a 4 pot caliper that can be a "bolt on" to my S3 rotors...(what has already been suggested above).
I just need to find the right one, not too expensive of course :smiley:

Hello guyz, I'm back. I've taken a brake because of..well some cash problems, but the car is still here and lots have happend to it.
First of all the SB clutch died on me so I had to replace it with a LOBA.
Then..well, took me abt 6 months, but I did it...made the car 4x4, I found a trustworthy S3 from which I took the parts and my super mechanic made it all possible. Besides this, car also got a new complete 3" full exhaust system similar to Fuscobal's (same guy made it) only I also have a 100cell catalyst (well, I'm eco friendly :) ), H&R sway bars, Forge actuator and Haldex controller taken from the S3.
I've already ordered Michelin Pilot Supersport for street use and a set of Nankang SP2 for track (I've read many good things abt them and they come with a very decent price).
Next on the list is an upgrade to my old KW variant 1, still deciding what to take....Ohlins is kind of expensive..Any suggestion is welcomed.
And of course the brakes..still old S3 setup which I really need to upgrade now.
Right now, with current setup car drives like a dream. Yes, is a bit heavier, but is a true pleasure driving it. Super stability in curves, it is like is glued to the asphalt..I think being a sedan + 4x4 is a super winning combination. Never tested on track yet, waiting for the Nankangs first, but on normla road is as I said...true pleasure.
All 380hp are put to the ground now, car is wilder than ever :laugh: , no more torque steer, ESP kicking in all the time, etc.
I will come back with some photos later on, I have the car at the mechanic ftm for some small fine tunes.
