Title: R32/s3 brakes how much
Post by: Mitch H on October 28, 2015, 06:19:07 pm
How much should I be paying for r32/s3 brake setup.

I've seen an s3 setup front and rears for £400 Calipers, carriers, lines, discs and pads in good nick although I will probably fit new ones unless they're really good condition.

Front and rear for £400? Bite his hand off, fronts are usually £300-£350 and rears are £250-£300ish

Go for the 4 pot from Touareg. :wink:

It uses the Merc ML450 350 mm discs. :smiley:

I have done mate, pick them up next week come with discs and pads but might look into some better pads for them :)

also ill ask you this because you seem to know a lot about brakes :D
do the brakets needed change at all if using 55mm or 50mm hubs? I don't think they will but want to check.
also do you think I will need wheel spacers to run this kit behind Pescara wheels?
350mm discs should look sweet :) cant wait

Not sure what calipers you got that just use 330 mm discs, only Brembo 17Z that have 6 pots. Just Porsche has 4 pot calipers for 330 mm discs, that I know of.

I know these calipers that are 4 pot from the Touareg 3.2 V6 and use 350 mm Merc discs:

You'll need adaptor bolts, hub centring rings for the discs and wheel spacers for the Pescaras (I guess from 7-12 mm).

If you have a GTI your hubs have 55 mm. Just 1.9 TDI PD105, 1.4 FSI and 1.6 FSI use 50 mm hubs.

I think there are (1LE) calipers I have and think they are some sort of merc discs with centre bore and lug holes bored out a little more. Not sure though

Yeah, for what I could find, 1LE uses 330x32 mm discs and it's from the V6 Touareg. Not sure how those calipers that I showed a picture use 350 mm discs... I'll have to confirm with the owner if the discs are really 350 mm or 330 mm. :confused:
