Dave very interesting project :congrats:

I think it would be very interesting ,for a  lot of GTI owners,if you could find for us a caliper solution

for the R32 thick discs.

A 4-6 pistons caliper with popular pad choises, would be great for a lot of people who run r32 brakes(incl.cupra,s3 etc)

and visit track quite often.

Candy White DSG,S3 full brake setup,S3 I/C,TT Lower Arms,Superpro Bushes&Antilift,
Bilstein custom coilovers,Eibach front- BSH rear ARBs,full Milltek exhaust,e-tuners stage 2 remap.

would definatley be interested but due the criteria
got track days / ring trips planned, runs a standard 18" wheel, whos running a staged GTI or Edition 30/Pirelli , a technical background would be helpful, whos running 312mm discs at the moment, who crapped his pants due to lack of braking last timeout who's good with a camera and could do a review on here....phew

and me being a complete numpty :sad1:
 ill just wait for the results and buy later when i need to change my brakes.
good luck with this

on a serious note Dave, even with a dual piston is the capacity of the 312mm disc ok?
the big plus on the R32 was a greatly increased capacity before it heat soaks..

Good point John

The answer is we'll see, was at questmead today and John there when asked to enter the Mintex part numbers for boxster fronts came up with 18 different pads in stock.

I think this is the potential win with this setup, you'll be able to accurately get the right pad for the degree of heat that you're generating. Having said that the R32 30mm thick disc does give some margin in terms of being able to absorb the heat. (From memory you need 40% more heat to get the same temp increase for every 10% increase in disc width) but with the limited pad choice you may not get a pad to generate that heat and deal with it before the pad itself starts letting you down.

It is considerably lighter as well. I've been talking to questmead about the 315mm 2 piece disc option, the rotor itself is inside of 5.5kg another 1.6 kg for the bell and carrier and bolts..... imagine this setup bolted to the S3 Hub and lower arms. Comparing this utopia setup to an steel hubbed ED30 with R32 brakes and you could be looking at saving nearly 20kg per corner.

Not only is that good for handling its also good for straight line speed.

Lots done but still lots to do, the proof is in the hooning. Joes car is getting the kit on Friday Afternoon, its got a week of fast road to put up with then some ring laps, hopefully Joe will be able to compare laps on a standard quality OEM Pagid road pad and then with a quality track pad that we elected on today an SBS Carbon Ceramic with a tale of the tape very similar to a Pagid RS4-4 Orange. Those pads cost me £60 which brings me back to cheap consumable / clubman ethos Im trying to work with

Its been fun getting it this far, heres the kit awaiting fitment at ADS in Preston, Dave Massey there does a good job on installs he's got a knack of getting a good pedal be it single/4/6/8 pot which isn't always the case with other installers, he's also a revo dealer so he's going to give Joes car a once over prior to the mass forum exodus to Shermoney next week.

All sounds really good,  but as far as i can see, you still have not addressed the major flaw with this set-up and test run.  :smiley:
