Read the thread and take in the info, well worth every penny it'll take to get a kit together including the fitting kit from Dave!

Ok if we're naming and shaming

Porschecalipers.co.uk

Have approached a customer of mine that has a yet unfitted nqsbbk.

Offering to rent the carriers copy them and return.

Same company also supplied some carriers to a customer which didn't fit when on the ramp.

This isn't what this thread is about.

Things like this in the vag world, i.e quality, fitment and costs, they spread like wild fire and if someones pushing said crap they soon get found out and avoided!

Companies like this kill themselves eventually. A shame but i feel you'll be fine!

I've had the nqsbbk kit on my car since July..it's brilliant,I'm running normal pagid pads at the moment & was wondering if there was a better pad for more bite but without the squeal noise...

Dave,
Can you please tell me what is included in the fitting kit?
Also, do you have any calipers kit left?
Thanks,
George

I might be able to help you, my friend...
2x brackets + Hel brake lines (for GTI and nqsbbk caliper) + bolts.
If you are interested in the nqsbbk, you might want to check the sales section where Dave is selling some discs for this!

The kit comprises

aluminium Caliper carriers, hard anodised and helicoiled.

For additional strength we use M12x1.25 bolts which are supplied, these are a higher specification thread pitch than even High end OEM applications and are more commonly found on F1 cars! These are manufactured in the UK and not India where 95% of UK supplied bolts arrive from

The carriers are engraved via CNC with CC1037 on them, if they don't have this engraved they aren't mine, the carriers are manufactured on a MAZAK CNC Miller, the serial numbered machine before the one we use got delivered to Mclaren. The same machine supply's lots of components to a certain F1 team that gives you wings.......

The hoses are manufactured by a HEL Dealer to my own custom specification and length, the official female VAG fitting doesn't fit inside the bracket in the inner wing and also doesn't have the double concave female profile so we use one that does that also fits in the inner wing with a mod which is supplied.

So top quality stuff we don't skimp in any area.

To answer the question after the marketing BS

Got some kits left

Bolts/Carriers/Hoses


ALSO.......forgot to mention....

I've been really struggling to get through the amount of refurbishment work that I was taking on so enlisted some help, so Jonny from brake Caliper refurbs had recently formed a small business set up to refurbish multi piston Calipers. It was mainly formed to service and refurbish larger OEM Calipers as he works with a load of high end supercars normally ending in a vowel...

Anyway he had a dig around under my stairs promptly found a load of stuff that I didn't remember having and can now offer NQSBBK refurbs from stock for immediate dispatch on an EXCHANGE basis....here's how It works...

Buy a set of Boxster Calipers from eBay or a breakers and send them to Jonny, he checks them over and sends you a refurbed set straight away, he's got (I had!) six sets of Boxster fronts in the system as well as the 6 pots and 8 pots that he makes his living from...

I got roped in to fitting some gallardo Calipers to a TTRS about two weeks ago, like an idiot I left a bleed nipple cracked on the side that I wasn't bleeding.....frustrated as to why I couldn't get a pedal I looked across and saw this freshly refurbed Gallardo Caliper dripping in brake fluid.....apparently as part of the service he'd put some of his tricky composite ceramic coating on them and it saved the day....I used to get very fed up with installers who made my Calipers have white stripes and bubbly paint so its fair to say they'll keep the finish for longer and in fairness the finish he's getting is much better than I ever achieved anyhow enjoy the brake pic porn here http://www.facebook.com/BrakeCaliperRefurbs

He's doing about 3-4 sets a week with good turnarounds, so as opposed to me driving people mad and their stuff taking ages speak to Jonny who'll sort you out sooner with a better job!

Just to confirm I'm not financially involved with it (other than he's robbed borrowed my Caliper stash) so give him a shout at jonny@brakecaliperrefurbs.co.uk
