NQS BBK A Not Quite So Big Brake Kit..NQS Rear mods now.....

[the bruce]

They are similar in size and both 4 pot.
The Porsche calipers are monobloc design, I guess the Seat Brembos aren't.

Right Dave asked me to put these pics up has he wanted to show how the bridge pipe was transfered across between calipers.

First one is of a nice caliper built up with a newly spliced brake warning loom notice the proper VW plug





This is a passenger side caliper with the bridge pipe at the bottom and the bleed nipples at the top and also the leading smaller piston, the bridge pipe WILL NOT just swap from top to bottom it needs to be swapped from the left caliper to the right caliper and top to bottom its the way the pipe bends.





I hope that helps any one fitting this excellent kit

Dave I need a new small piston seal I managed to catch it while grinding the pegs down

Cheers

Darren

Do only the orig. Porsche pads have this brake warning sensor
or are there any track proven aftermarket pads with this?

I thought of fitting a separate BMW style sensor to Pagid RS,
PFC or Endless pad. Seemed to me the easiest way.

Dave provided me with porshe pads with wear sensors but my car doesn't appear to have the loom 

[the bruce]

Makes me wonder. No oil sensor, no brake wear sensor.
Mike, did you buy a racing kit car?

Surely has oil press sensor??   

You mean temp sensor? Fitting one for polar unit :)

[the bruce]

Right, I remember you wrote about that some months ago.

[rex]

As far as I know NO true racing pad has wear sensor.
And as a personal opinion, I don't think a wear sensor is needed since you can easily see how much of the pad is still there.

[the bruce]

No doubt, Rex. But if you don't have any sensor you need
to delete it via VCDS. I don't like to have any burning lights.

Or use an old sensor wire and short it.

Can anybody tell me the cost of;

312mm j hooked discs

Or

312mm drilled discs

Feel it may be daft to put the pagid blues on std discs?

[the bruce]

If the stock discs are still fine I would stay with them. 

If you need new discs and want to drive on track some heat treated
Tarox would be a good choice. Or wait for the two-piece 312 mm discs
DaveB has told about.

[Tfsi_Mike]

Is it not best practice though to change the discs and pads together?

Do you have a link to the Tarox

I would really love the 2 piece option but don't think funds will allow
