just took delivery of my machined drilled discs from DaveB for my NQS. words cannot describe the awesome. i cannot WAIT to get them fitted  :party:

just as an example of the attention to detail:

the discs are drilled in a design that's symmetrical on both sides of the car! i'd never thought to ask him of this but secretly deep down it would have bothered me if they weren't but this man has clearly thought of everything!

DaveB i salute you  :happy2:

You'll love the set up, Mike. If I could start the modding thing all over again, knowing what I know now, I would do this first!  :happy2:

@Mike - how you getting on with the Pagid Blues? My DS2500s on the NQSBBK haven't got much left on them.

Did you source yours from DaveB?

Cheers Mike  :happy2:

There is nearly £100 premium on these even over the DS2500s so I'd be interested to hear your thoughts as I've never experienced Pagid Blues in my car or anyone I know. My DS2500s don't get much of a thrashing with my usual commute but even then they are well worn after less than a year (although I have the J-hooks too). No complaints though - they are worth it without any doubt !

For street use and some light track the DS2500 are pretty fine.
On track the RS4-2 are even better though.
Some prefer Pagid Blues on front and DS2500 on rear.

Cheers  :happy2: I don't track my car so may be better just saving the cash and sticking with the DS2500. If the Pagid Blues are more track orientated then I suspect that they may not be so great when cold but the DS2500 aren't bad when cold.

No, the Pagid Blues bite good from cold, but yes, no mistake to stick with the DS2500
for fast road applications only.

I still run the fully road legal DS Performance and even these are great for street as well.

For road use I would go with the DS2500 or OEM Brembo or OEM Pagid (911 uses Pagid, I saw it at Nurburgring).
I use Pagid Orange RS 4-4 on front and DS2500 in the back but my setup is more track oriented.

And one more thing I wanted to say on this topic. For me, when choosing the rim specs I had no information about the rim clearance for Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2.
So... when using 8x17 ET45 TD Pro Race 1.2 the clearance is huge.... Approximately 19mm. In my chase I chose the width of 8 inch because of the future tire choice and because I was afraid that there will not be enough clearance with 7.5 inch rims. So if anybody wants to buy 7.5 inch TD Pro Race 1.2 ET 45 (no matter what the diameter) don't worry about the brake clearance.

The discs are your standard 312mm discs on your GTI/ED30 - the 2 piece rotors could be purchased from AP directly with me supplying the bells and bolts and would be 315mm with a 54mm swept area - still working on this.




Dave, any progress on this?

Complimented my NQS BBK with j hooked s3 rears. Added front j hooked rotors and pagid blue pads.

Going to bed in / set the pads and take them off an save them or the summers track days.  Only need oem discs and oem Porsche pads for daily theyre still very good.

Adding ate super blue fluid on Monday :)
