Simple to install as it’s a straight bolt on kit but Hel braided lines and a quick brake bleed after.
Will get them bedded in and see how I get on. I’ll be upgrading to R32 rear calipers with discs and pads to match the front at some point in the near future.
Quite liking the monochrome look rather than the red too!
Before and after shot…

Interesting! What is the spec of the kit and where did you source it?

It’s R32 size discs (345x30) and Porsche Macan calipers. You may be able to do it a bit cheaper if you get the Audi Q5 calipers which are the same. Mine are even stamped VAG on the ally casting on the back. They bolt straight on with no additional brackets but if you are running standard wheels you will need spacers. I’m running BBS XR’s ET44. Even with mine the clearance is a fag paper lol
You can get them from a few places but as an example… https://www.vagbremtechnic.com/porsche-macan-front-caliper-kit-with-brake-lines/

Another year/20K miles, another air filter. A bit dirtier than I was expecting, but it's interesting to see the rather poor air distribution through the stock airbox :grin:

@Pudding Those clip pliers make removing the clips soo easy! Everyone should own a pair.
