In terms of what you should buy..
VW Racing for sure.. They are fantastic! Should have mine on last this week fingers crossed!!

HPA

That HPA kit is insane money, you don't even get a proper 2 piece disc!!
My Alcons below 343mm 4 pot, there's also a 360mm 6-pot kit listed for the TT that fits.
AP Racing do a 360mm 6-pot kit too from the 'Rocco, in the region of £2.5k

....
If I was buying again I'd probably go for the VWR brakes but I'm very happy with my AP Racing - Have just replaced first set of DS2500 pads and about to replace first discs after about 40,000 miles.
I would choose performance over looks every time.

:ashamed: Leon Cupra R upgrade.

Much better than the standard setup. I don't understand why VW didn't do it from scratch other than cost. :confused:

Have you got a price on this kit yet Mat. :happy2:
-
Yes mate it's just over £1250 but it's a perfect fit and you can get service parts from the dealer

Cheers bud. I stupidly decided against taking languages at school, and cant read a word in that link. So what are the differences between this and their junior brembo kit. :signIWS:
-
Its a 4 pot 313mm disc kit from the vag group that's a perfect fit and that's about it

So what are the differences between this and their junior brembo kit. :signIWS:
off the top of my head :
the GT kit's have smaller pistons, so less clamping pressure when being used spiritedly
the GT kit will be alot heavier - so unsprung weight is great effected
the GT kit's rotors are one piece disc's - the more expensive kit are semi floating.
the more £££ kit just looks cooler - but if i had it i'd go for different disc's, slotted or plain not drilled as i cracked 3 sets of AP330 mm drilled disc's on my Evo 6 - not the biggest fan of drilled.
If i could i'dupgrade to the fully floating desgin as found on the B7 RS4 but used the Phaeton plain disc (as i did on my B6 S4)

Not the best picture, but you can just see the floating spring shims, worked very well, esp with the 8pot brembo's - 3 trackdays at Castle Combe and sprited driving aplenty with out warping

Thats really not a nice thought. :sick:

Phaeton 360mm disc same as the A8 disc and its too tall for Mk5 Platform and interferes with the bottom ball joint (unfortunately)

If you use the RS4 bell you'll have a greater offset for the disc, should give you the clearance needed as i had this problem when fitting the Phaeton disc's to my S4 (B6)
