Title: TOURAEG 4 POTS or Audi s3 brakes
Post by: Mitch H on May 14, 2015, 08:43:44 pm

Seen an s3 brake setup for sale for £400

s3 8p quattro 345mm brake calipers and tarox drilled and grooved discs/ tarox corsa pads virtually new only covered 200miles

My main 2 questions are they a straight bolt on fit?
And are tarox discs and pads good, think I remember reading drilled discs crack very easily?

Or..
Brembo touraeg 4 pots
330mm discs + spare pair of discs
Pads in good condition
HEL braided lines
Everything needed to fit
£400

You need the brake lines off the S3 too. Bolts straight on with 17in Monzas or 18in pascara wheels

What about caliper carriers?
Would you need custom ones or anything?

Take the 4 pots mate, I've never tried the touraeg ones but 4 pots will be better and lighter than the S3 setup.

Go for the 4pots.

More braking power than s3 brakes and you dont have to deal with the weight increase as s3 brakes are cast solid and heavy whereas the 4pots are aluminium.
