am after some bigger brakes to fit behind my 19" bbs alloys as the current ones now look a little lost..could do with a little help to which ones to go for to fill the inside of the wheel..
-
Depends how much monies youve got i guess!! :signLOL:
Obvious solution is the R32 setup.... fairly cheap and pretty big :happy2:
I wonder if DaveB still has that S4 kit which uses 360mm disc... might be worth a PM!
-
Andy, will these just be for the road or will you be tracking it?
If its just for the road then the R32/Cupra/S3 345mm setup will be a great upgrade and fill the hoops better.
Edit: Too slow, Rich beat me to it...
-
still saving up Rich but be looking at spending £1000..had a r32 in the other day..the calipers were ok but i would want bigger discs if poss. :signLOL:
Edit just road use only
-
For £1k you'll get a top quality kit, Andy :happy2:
Dont think DaveB is doing any more kits now :sad1:
-
no i missed the boat with Dave,i was saving up for other mods at the time..hopefully should hopefully around summer time i will be looking.Iwas going to get a hybrid turbo first but thought i better get the brakes done first :signLOL:
-
:signLOL:
Its amaizing how many people do all the power upgrades then think 'sh*t, my brakes are made of poo'..... :laugh:
What hybrid you getting? Mapping?
RS Tuning is not too far from you and Paul does quite well with hybrid derv's..

You can get a barely used 370mm brembo 4 pot TTRS setup for 1k.

Been offered this kit of a customer of mine if he changes his car BIG BRAKES (http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=10590&xSec=150).. but he said i might have to run 6mm spacers each side to clear the ofset 44 of my bbs wheels..if i put spacers on the wheels will catch the arches and i don't want to highten the car..
-
*Broken record alert*
Get the r32 kit... easy peasy, no fitment issues, really good "bang for your buck" performance wise!
-
i know i know Rich sorry...whats the biggest disc i can put on with the r32 calipers :signLOL:
-
I presume 345mm.... will need someone to clarify that!
-
Cheers Rich..i will go on the hunt for some r32 calipers etc..
-
R32 full front and rear, just need a clean by the looks of it!

Id make him an offer... youll probably want to get new pads and discs too!
If you dont want/need the rears sell them on here for 200-250 quid and you've just had yourself a little bargain!
-
I've got the S3/R32 set up on the front of my GT-TDI, it's a great upgrade with a massive improvement. Also not too expensive and easy to get pads and discs for!

Nothing to do with me..

Ive still got that RS4 B5 kit you can have for 220 quid the 360mm discs would cost you 400 and the pads about 80.
Powerful stoppers - big disc - good choice of pads without the pedal issues of some "Mk5 BBK's"
TC has them fitted to his car - seems pleased

Right need a bit of info...bought some r32 calipers of e bay
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fcc20%2Fmaxitrol%2FB4tkLWQBGkKGrHqZhQE72kkjrKBMq4nM0EsQ_12.jpg&hash=2199e6a3515eaddd0a3d3ad09ffe21c9fee054fc)
will the flexis need changing on my car to make them fit
-
The R32/S3 caliper uses a short rigid extension (from the caliper to the brake hose), the GTI (Std) uses a banjo bolt arrangement. Hence the different requirements.
