The man who goes round taking peoples with his valeting prices?
I know, lets concentrate on my brakes. And be happy I got them
For one, I think they'll look amazing and you got a great deal, considering I paid £250 for S4 Callipers and Discs.
Which were more than enough for my A4.
Huge brakes always look amazing, maybe you could get some carbon ceramic discs cheaply, that would be wicked.
Although I'd be concerned that I'd end up with 4 rings on my forehead every time I braked.....lol
Nathan, I am abit concerned about the custom carriers as there is ALOT of forces on those babies. If the are not machined EXACTLY to a T youve got a potential disaster there.... just my 2 cents...
I dont think there should be a concern about the master cylinders as I am running Cayenne 6 pots with no issues. I know guys who are running RS4 8 pots with no drama...
spray them by all means but make sure you leave the AMG badge on
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?
Nath - Brakes look awesome fella - should fill those 20s nicely. Paint them silver - will contrast nicely with your wheels (if your still painting them the colour you said before!) - god buy
BTW - i had a C63 AMG the other day and if the brakes on that were anything to go on, it will handle your car with eaaasssee!
Cheers Kaz, never knew you were running S3 brakes? Are you pleased with them. I'll get them refurbed in silver and keep the AMG badges I think. I'm getting the wheels powdercoated anthracite this week. Then slap them on next weekend I hope.
Update: Have just managed to buy some RS4 front discs from Phil at PW Motorsport for £460 instead of Audi's £686, so I'm quite happy with that!! Should be getting pads next week, so I'm hoping the brakes will be on by mid August!
Sounds good - cant wait to see how they look
Everythings coming along well Ashley, I'm gonna get my brake pads next week, then the following monday all going well drop the car off to quattronics and then hopefully it shouldn't be too long until its done.
Don't you worry ash, I will keep you updated, I can't wait, car badly needs detailing which I will do when the wheels go on , which all going well should be next week
Well I'm from Bristol man aren't I! So you lemme know if you ever want it detailing lad! I've got a 318 autograph to sort this week. Paint on my is pretty excellent tbh, just needs claying and waxing again then a light going over with the machine.
ur gonna be stopping on a dime m8 with those bad boys..
they will look fecking wicked you were lucky getting the calipers so cheap , im sure they will be and look awesome.....
yeah id love a set of them with them disc to they will look really nice behind the wheel...
Are the rear brakes still adequate with these huge beasts on the front?
yeah does look nice behind the wheel ....still unsure on the red but im sure once there on the car with brakes on an dropped then it will look ok ...certainly different anyhow .. its a bit like jap style get some pics on soon as your done...
If I get my hands on some staggered Segins at the right time im gonna snap them up and get them done a deep ox blood red.
Born in bred in whitchurch, not sure if you know it? The sportback is alright lad, but when wheels go on and new short plates, it will up the levels, I'm getting there, really pleased with the car overall. I've got to pick my cousins TT next week, new interior going in, including buckets and then thats being detailed too. Plenty to be getting on with!
