Big brake upgrade, A3??

[will.f_1.8t]

I understand the big brake upgrade is easily achieveable with 312mm carriers and discs from simiar, higher spec cars such as the s3 and tt!!

could anyone give me a definate list of ther cars that would also fit such as; skoda octavia vrs>05, seat ibiza cupra/leon, golf mk5??????

any help on the above cars plus others would be much appreciated, im sure this would help others in the search for a reasonable priced setup!!

cheers will

if you find an ibiza cupra mk4, it runs on 4-pot AP's (branded seat sport) which run on 312mm disks, so would bolt on to your hubs if you run 312mm now

Dont other seats run this 4 -pot system then. I have a a3 quattro, has mine got the 4 pot, if not would it improve things further to my upgrade ive already got?

Nope. All A3/S3s came with crappy single piston sliding caliper.

I bought some brand new AP Racing 4 pots from ebay for £325 posted... Using them with 330mmx28mm 2 piece rotors and bells but can just as easily be used with 323 Leon Cupra discs (cheaper)

What calipers are they specifically and did you get custom brackets made?

 

[<tuffty/>]

They are TVR branded AP Racing CP6600 calipers and I got the brackets from Bill at Badger 5

See my build thread for a bit more info... the calipers are still up on ebay but don't know if the guy has any left even though the listing suggests he has...

I have a couple pairs of these brackets in stock for the TVR/AP's for 330 or 323 disks

 

[emery1990]

Oh so im guessing you cant use them on the 312mm discs anyway ? Next time there in need of changing ill probally go the tuffty route.

 

[<tuffty/>]

312mm discs aren't wide enough mate, soz...

Those calipers (if they haven't gone already) will not be around forever at that price...
