Audi TTS Front brakes to fit ED30
conneem:
Performance wise identical to the R32/Cupra but as The Bruce has said they use 340mm discs vs the usual 345mm, they also use different pads.
Also, they are actually lighter than the R32/S3 setup by 1.5kg per side :)
jon-tfsi:
The venting is on the outside of the disc opposed to the inside on the r32 discs.
After having a drive of my pals TTS i noticed they were less grabby than my Cupra 345mm brakes, both with stock discs and pads. This may be more to do with pad material though . . . . .

The air's entry in on the inside and it leaves the rotor on the outside edge.
On every rotor. Or did I get you wrong? Pardon me i I did. :wink:

Jon-TFSI means the side that the fins are exposed on. Here are two pictures, first a TTS disc and then an R32/S3. It is hard to see but you can see the TTS directs air into the fins from the front but the R32/S3 is 'sealed' at the front and allows air in at the back face. :)

Interesting!
Seems a lot of hassle for nowt really when they already had 345s in the parts bin.
