Great work :happy2:
Are the TTRS calipers better than your existing Brembos? The GTI lettering looks great to me :wink:

Can't wait to see how it will handle with this weight reduction on the front wheels. Just on the discs will be 4,4 kg reduction per corner. Pads, calipers and spindles will also be lighter. :smiley:

The calipers themselves I don't think so. I had to change to these TTRS calipers because I couldn't source 355 mm 2-piece floating discs from AP Racing for the Brembo 18Z. The only source I found was Girodisc in the USA, but it would be very expensive. So expensive that I think in the long run this brake setup change makes more sense. Sent 3 emails to Reyland Motorsport requesting custom bells for the Brembo 18Z. They never replied...
Thanks for the comment on the letters. I made the letters myself using Paint. :signLOL: I later sent the BMP file with the size I wanted to a guy who works with vinyl stuff. :smiley:

Good to see you back on track. :grin:
The car looks superb and I've just realized that I've choose the wrong color for my TD wheels. The up-sprung weight saving is always good and it will be felt, but there is also rotational mass reduction. :happy2:
I've also used Carbotech XP20 and they are generating tremendous amount of heat despite my brake ducts. In the end, I switched to Pagid. I think that's why the OEM discs can't handle them.

I don't think you chose the wrong colour for your wheels, because they look awesome! Maybe they don't hide as well the brake pad dust, I guess... :confused:
The Carbotech XP20 are too hardcore for me for that reason. They can really make a lot of heat. No OEM discs can handle that! :scared:
