Firstly, a big thanks to our brake expert Dave, a few weeks back he supplied us with this brake kit which uses R8 rear 4 pot calipers, AP drilled rotors and custom made bells and brackets. The brakes are a perfect, no hassle fit and are shockingly good, I drive some high performance cars with some fantastic brakes but these are brilliant! such a well suited setup for the MK5 at such a good price.
Another benefit is the standard Team Dynamics 8x18 ET45 wheel fits perfectly :smiley: If anyone wants some fantastic deals on these wheels, give me a shout :happy2:

....Not as lightweight as OZ Alleggerita's :evilgrin:
But, don't get me wrong, those TD's look ace and are much cheaper than OZ's. Especially looking good with the R8 brakes :drool:

News flash. Robin attempts self promotion again but fails. :grin:

^^^^
Brakes, calipers.. I'm not used to all this mix 'n match candy store stuff :laugh: If I see "R8" on a brake caliper I tend to think the whole brake kit is R8 but I guess that's what I'm meant to think.

....Er? How is that "self-promotion"? I'm just sharing the fact that OZ's are lighterweight in response to T88OMM's comment. And yes, I know you're just joking me :P

Shiny. Those discs look super good behind the rims, I've got to say.

very cool :congrats:

Hmm loving them! :congrats:

Look great behind those rims Dave, very "proportioned"
Last set of the R8 brakes went this week to a great guy with a Nice Leon, its been a fun kit to get together and sell and really appealed to the OEM+++ brigade.
Its doubtful at nearly 700 for quid each caliper if the kit will ever be recreateable going forward, so the current owners have got some great brakes and made a solid investment, I drove the A3 equipped car and with the S3 rears it just felt so stable and with so much control - very progressive, dare I say perfect?
Theres a kit in Brazil/one in Singapore.
Only 4 sets in the UK Each on an A3/Rocco/Ed30/Leon so by accident evenly spread out amongst the VAG fraternity.
Thanks to Dave@PDT for his patience but alls well that ends well - look great :happy2:
