Look what I bought from eBay

[N8]

Don't you just LOVE eBay!!! Well I do anyway.

Some 6 Pot AMG Brembo Calipers. Basically I'm going for a turboback exhaust on my car and a custom code phase 2, and as I feel the stock 2.0TDI brakes are poo, wanted a bit more bite, I don't really want 1 pot S3 brakes (plus they look poo), fancied building my own kit.

I managed to get these calipers for the bargain price of £269 delivered! So they are getting sprayed Akoya Silver (Car colour) next week, then I will gradually build my kit of discs, pads, custom carriers etc over the next few months.

Watch this space

very nice nate they would stop a 18 wheeler ...... will they fit under your wheels though....... lol

 

[N8]

Yes they will fit. I'm working out what size discs. I'm not sure if 365mm will fit under 18"s, they'll deffo fit under the 20"s. I will keep you posted blazin.

 

[10blazin]

I WAS JOKIN WITH YOU DUDE...when you getting your rims on

 

[N8]

Um, tyres are getting fitted friday night. Trial fit on the weekend, so how many arches I have to rip out - LOL, then I'll stick them on next week. Need to seal them up first.

Here are SL65 8 Pot brakes on a 2.0T German A3.

[gareth_oau]

How much would you expect to pay for a set of matching discs?

 

[N8]

I'm not quite sure yet Gareth, I'm not sure what discs and what sizse I'm going to run. I will keep everyone posted.

 

[Spin140]

Bargain of the century, not sure about spraying them Akoya though I'd leave em stock.

It will be like hitting a brick wall when you stamp on those but make sure you upgarde hoses and fluid too for maximum affect.

They will look amazing, I think I'm developing a brake fetish..LOL !!

 

[WiZBiT]

+1 DONT SPRAY THEM PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE!!!!!!!!

 

[S3RYE]

Wowww! they will look amazing!! i officially HAVE a brake fetish!

Well they need spraying anyway, as they are a few chips etc on there. I think they are gonna look wicked in Akoya, don't really wanna spray them silver. I know will upgrade hoses and fluid also, my cousin's 6 Pot Cayenne Turbo brakes got me going!!

Cheers Spin

Hey Ashley,

I was getting excited until Corey at quattronics recommend using 365mm B7 RS4 discs, I think I'm going to have to sell my anal virginity to pay for those , . I can't wait till there on either, the ride ain't gonna be as bad as everyone makes out, just depends what your used to. They ain't gonna be dailys anyway we'll see how it goes.

I will enjoy it.

 

[NHN]

Lmao most comment he says just makes me laugh, nigel are you always happy? You never ever seem to be p*ssed off or moody

Wouldnt be your 1st time, so I've heard

 

[Caesium]

I'd worry that the master cylinder will not be able to move enough fluid to actually make them work without the pedal hitting the floor.

I'd rather be laughing than be crying mate, always in the face of adversity, have a read http://www.healthy.net/scr/column.asp?ColumnId=1&ID=32

I like to joke about & have a laugh, some people cant help being miserable shits, hey I get annoyed & peed of like everyone but it mostly only lasts for 5 minutes, some people can be peed of for days, weeks, years, lol, I can hold a grudge but wont let that affect anyone else.

I'd worry that the master cylinder will not be able to move enough fluid to actually make them work without the pedal hitting the floor.

I was gonna say to Nate that will the braking systems on the car be able to utilise them to there full potential & not cause compatibility issues.

Ashley

Ha Ha, you gotta have a laugh. I'm looking forward to it myself. As my sig says really. Turboback exhaust, custom code phase 2 map, bluetooth, interior lights, and thats pretty much it. So by the end of the summer, it'll be finished, and I can start spending cash on the girlfriend again

I'd worry that the master cylinder will not be able to move enough fluid to actually make them work without the pedal hitting the floor.

Well Corey at Quattronics doesn't seem to think there will be any issues. They are the ones who are going to carry out the conversion.

Are they willing to give you a document stating that? I have seen the master cylinder on a car with huge callipers and the diameter is much larger than that of a standard car.

Its alright saying "yeah its alright mate" but another for it to be legally binding.

 

[Broken Byzan]

Probably find the rears will need upgrading too or your stopping distance will be increased due to the rears doing less work over the fronts. You have any plans to do the rear?

I've emailed him with your concerns, I'll await to hear what he says.
