Title: Touareg Front Caliper question
Post by: RobC on March 26, 2019, 08:49:02 pm

Evening all,

Sorry if this is a repeat question but Ive searched and found a lot of info about the 17z & 18z caliper upgrade but not the Touareg 4 pots.

Ive been offered a set of Touareg front calipers for nothing and so wondered if I could use the 17z adapters, 330mm associated discs and hub centric rings to fit them to my Edition 30? If so what brake lines do I need?

Thanks in advance!

It's not a decent brake set up in all honesty. Best off waiting for some RS3/TTRS 4 pot brembo's to come up for sale. You usually have to run adaptors with Merceded ML350/330 discs which are pretty pants.

Epytec don’t show any lines in their adaptor kit so the stock ones might well fit. I'm sure they can advise you.
