Golf R32/R/S3 Rear Brake Upgrades?
th3_f15t:
Probably been covered before, but what upgrades are there for the R32/R/S3 that use the 310mm rear brakes from the factory? I've only ever really seen 2 modifications which is a Forge Motorsport kit or the rear brakes from a Cayenne/R8/Gallardo, both of which are a little pricey!
Is there truth in using a larger 330mm rear discs from some sort of Audi? Just want to work out a good, non-bank braking way of being able to bank on my brakes (I'm here all week). :happy2:

I'm looking for a R32/R20 rear brake setup. If you find anything better, give me a price for yours. :wink:
In your place I'd look into an used Cayenne/R8/Gallardo rear brakes. A friend of mine has it in his Golf mk5 GTI APR Stage 3. :drool:
th3_f15t:
I'll certainly look at what's involved, ideally a set up that wouldn't require spacers is ideal as I'm doing some maths at the moment and figured I can run staggered offsets/widths which will keep my current track unaltered. But I'm not completely against running rear spacers.
Shoduchi:
He has replica Detroits that are 8J and ET35, with 25 mm wider front wings from SRS Tec and rear rolled arches.

There is one more kind of an upgrade, two piece rear rotors from VWRacing. Pricey though! :smiley:
@Shoduchi - If you're after the R32 setup you should try these part numbers from TRW, they are the same as the OEM ones (TRW is the producer). I found them really cheap: :happy2:
TRW BDA690 - R32 caliper carrier rear left
TRW BDA691 - R32 caliper carrier rear right
TRW BHS938 - R32 caliper rear left
TRW BHS939 - R32 caliper rear right

Combine them with Zimmerman Coat Z discs and that's it! :grin:
