S£/R32/cupra brake fade
Janner_Sy:
sweet, and you didnt need spacers
tony_danza:
You need spacers for pretty much every kit bar the AP 330mm 4-pot.
3mm iirc. I chose to do mine by changing wheels & offset instead.
Janner_Sy:
3mm is taht all, i was thinking in the 10mm region!!! but then i have absolutley no clue. anybody got an idea on what fitment would be for a kit like this.

k04 conversion gives our cars 309bhp, ours at stage 2+ give 280bhp, 320-340Ibft, so if i get some water meth id be looking at 300bhp for about 2000 pound less. dont think i can justify that cost for such small gain

More like 370hp for a K04 mate.. The difference between K03 and K04 is night and day..
In terms of what brakes to go for.. Dont let the number of pistons or size / blingyness of the caliper or disc make your mind up as to what is going to be the best performance brake package.. Theres a lot more to it than that!
Going to an R8 caliper is going from one road set up to another, if you want proper brakes buy a race brake set up designed around our cars..
Drilled discs / One piece discs / road pads / road discs no matter how big, how many pistons etc etc will all fade / crack if you really use them.. Admittedly this may only be possible on track but just making the point that someone making a brake kit 'fit' to our cars using some nice looking calipers with 'a' disc with whatever pad will work is not they way to go about getting a good brake package..
