Title: RS3 370mm Brakes and Space
Post by: Alzak on March 04, 2014, 12:54:06 pm: Hi All

Will 370mm discs and brakes from RS3 fit behind 18Inch alloys in Seat Leon Fr ?

Post by: scopes on March 04, 2014, 01:12:19 pm: Think you need the ttrs discs, as the rs3 ones needs rs3 bearings !

That is correct, 10mm wider bearings to my knowledge, you need the TT-RS discs to get it to work

Post by: b9rgo1234 on March 04, 2014, 05:31:41 pm: I had TTRS brakes fitted to my Leon with 18" Seat Sport BBS alloy 7.5" ET51 and had to use a 12mm spacer.
The caliper actually rubs on the inside of the alloys though :fighting:
I plan on using the calipers again but with the fitting kit so I can use TTS 340mm discs.

I have oryginal FR 18Inch alloys and I believe they have offset ET45 ...

You mantioned some fitting kit do you have any link where I can see it ?

Aks do the fitting kit for rs3/ttrs calipers fitting to r32 discs or if u want a bigger setup then u can go for the daveb ttrs discs with fitting kit,benefits of the daveb kit is that the discs sits inner(around 4-5mm)& the disc is 32mm compared to 34mm,so u might can get away on not using spacers..not cheap though

Post by: N8KOW on March 16, 2014, 08:10:30 pm: So will that be similar to Pescaras then?
Title: Re: RS3 370mm Brakes and Space
Post by: GTI.Dav on March 16, 2014, 08:22:56 pm: I risked 12.5mm spacers behind my pescaras and they just, just fitted!! Had to remove the wheel weights because they were rubbing on the caliper.

Post by: dan930 on March 17, 2014, 12:42:36 am: I'm thinking of ttrs calipers with ttrs 370mm discs so basically the ttrs setup on my golf R...been reading on American forums that I will need a 10mm spacer to clear the calipers if im running on oem 19x8 tallies but I'm worried that I might get rubbing as I'm lowered on H&R springs...

Title: Re: RS3 370mm Brakes and Space
Post by: b9rgo1234 on March 18, 2014, 07:03:54 pm: It's impossible, 18s at a minimum, 19s would be recommended.

I think the discs are too big for 17"s
U would need 18"s min mate
