Edit: Information relating to the NQSBBK Little Brother for the Polo GTI

Ok, Dave and I have decided that we will use this thread as a bit of a 6R Polo GTI BBK - WHAT NOT TO DO - and try and advise people appropriately for the future, as well as use for a little R&D and testing of the kit on my car.

Please disregard anything below this, until we get to Page2 were Dave explains WHY this setup is not suitable for anything and just doesnt have the stopping power.

****************************************************************************************

Hi All. I am in the process of putting together my BBK for the Polo GTI.

The spec will be as follows:

Boxster S Rear calipers w/ custom brackets for a Mk4 Golf (from PorscheCalipers.co.uk)
312mm Mk4 Golf discs
HEL lines, direct from HEL
New Textar or Brembo pads

Ive just received my HEL lines. Can anyone tell me if the Boxster S rear calipers require banjo fittings? As that is what HEL have sent me. They are different from the lines that everyone else is fitting with the NQSBBK, which have a different fitment type for the caliper. But everyone does use different calipers with this setup compared to what i am fitting.

Have you compared the piston size to the Clio 197/200?? If they match, I think it'll be the perfect setup. We both know how well the Clio stopped, and that was heavier.

Do TT/MKIV Anniversary rears fit too?

It will be a very similar setup to the Clio Mike.  :happy2: Im having my calipers refurbished with Brembo logos as well, rather than Porsche.

Yes, the 256mm CupraR/TT/Mk4 rears fit as well. That will be the plan for the rears eventually.

Mate

DONT fit that setup - its not safe, plus the carriers wont fit your polo.

PM me for my mobile and RING ME before fitting

Ive done a lot of work on the Polo Hub including a NQSBBK for it, the geometry is similar to a mk4 but its quite different

I do not want to sell you anything

RENNTAG:
^^^ I would give Dave a call. He is a very busy man so if he is taking the time to make sure you get the right set up for your car i would definately take the opportunatey to chat it through with him  :happy2:
