Title: NQSBBK questions
Post by: danc1706 on April 26, 2016, 06:28:11 pm
Looking at buying an nqsbbk for the edition 30! Porsche brembo 4 pots!

What else do I need too make this fit?

Can I use tts 340mm discs? If not which ones?

What's pads would be best?

Gonna be running standard wheels so will I need spacers?

Do I need to change my MC for the brakes?

Sorry for all the questions lol
Cheers in advance

you need 986 FRONT Calipers
Caliper adapters
You can use yoru standard disks
Braided brake lines
Pads - Pagid, Mintex, DS2500
And may aswell change the brake fluid while you at it

I run 10mm spacers with my NQSBBK as they were the smallest hubcentric spacers I could get, plenty of clearance now, I think 8 would do it.

Also make sure you get a set of anti squeal shims and some proper lube for them otherwise they will probably squeal like anything.

They are great. A little noisey if you don't keep the pads lubed but other than that no complaints and huuuugely better than stock
