ATE 4 pot Calipers With Disc's - What They Worth?

[Dani_B19]

So come across some ATE 4 pot calipers with 323mm cupra leon discs (brand new) but what are they worth?
They dont include carriers so would have to order them on top aswel!

 

[s3ollie]

i paid about 200 for custom caliper carriers so factor that in

Completely off topic.

Ollie that avatar image is sublime man, look at the curve on her butt

 

[s3ollie]

and how she's easing them apart, invitingly..........

 

[NHN]

Redtube here I come

 

[Dani_B19]

Redtube ftw.
Back on topic, ollie were did you get your carriers from?
Are ATE any good?

 

[The Slug]

ATE are OE for audi from what i understand

 

[s3ollie]

i got them for quattronics for Porsche calipers but i would think he might be able to help. if you know the dimensions you could get them made up at a machining shop

ATE are standard calipers on the S3 but only 2 pot. Personally due to the cost of custom cariers I'd go for a set of LCR Brembos.

 

[s3ollie]

8L S3 calipers are 1 pot

 

[Dani_B19]

The S3 one's maybe 2pot but these are 4pot seat one's.

 

[Westy]

8L S3 calipers are 1 pot

Are the standard S3 calipers like this?

Dani have you got any links to the ATE calipers?

 

[s3ollie]

look like it, the sliding type with just 1 pot :thumbsup:

the R32 and 3.2TT/A3 had the 2 pots on the same side

OMG I didn't realise they were only 1 pot! How can they put 4 pot brembos on the LCR which has the same power as the S3 but only put a 1 pot on the S3? No wonder I couldn't stop when I was on the Ring

 

[s3ollie]

i suppose they had to give the LCR somthing shiny to make it more appealing to people

I think being able to stop the car efficiently with standard brakes is quite appealing

 

[Dani_B19]

Cheers vetch. Cant post link when on your phone!

The pro race 330x32mm look like areally good offer.
Anyone heard of or had experince with compbrakes?

 

[Dani_B19]

Will brembo brake hoses fit these?

 

[Westy]

Dani did you bid on these? they went dirt cheap!

 

[Dani_B19]

Lost out . But kind of good in away, need to sort the car out i spouse.

 

[Westy]

I put a bid of £300 in with 7 seconds left but it didn't go through in time or they'd be mine. They must be worth a good £600!

 

[Dani_B19]

Thats unlucky. Yeah but no carriers or hoses so that'd set you back £150-300 depending on what hoses and where you got the carriers from, ooh well.

It still works out a lot cheaper than a Brembo GT kit!

 

[Dani_B19]

Good point, concentrating on the alloys and Fmic now so all good

Hi yes i have them fitted only had good results. The more stick i give them the more they fight back which is mint. I got the Pr7 kit in yellow as it looks sweet on my Blue S3.

 

[badger5]

good luck if you are using the hawk pads compbrake luv so much.
keep an eye on your paintwork for burnt on pad dust - its evil

 

[Kingston]

To be Honest i havn't had any problems with the pad dust apart from dirty wheels. Body work still sweet even after abusing them lol
