BRAKE (Upgrade) Mov'IT or TAROX

[DTYME83]

I am going to be upgrading m y brakes tomorrow. Has anyone had experience with either Mov'IT or Tarox?
Brembo don't actually do a kit for the S1 yet. At present I am leaning towards the Tarox setup

The tarox kit is the same part number for a3 1.8t so can't see why the brembo kit wouldn't fit the s1. I had two 6pot tarox setups in the past and couldn't fault them.. Caliper to wheel clearance is my biggest concern

 

[DTYME83]

Thanks for the advice. I did try to find a been I kit but just keep hitting a brick wall. What are your thoughts on Mov'IT. @shakey_hand_man

 

[shakey_hand_man]

Haven't got any experience with them.. I'm at Revo this weekend so will ask if anything is in the pipeline

 

[DTYME83]

I think revo have developed a brake kit for the S1, however it's like 2k plus @shakey_hand_man

 

[DTYME83]

That looks like some serious stopping power you will be flying forward in your seats. Just watch your head on the steering wheel lol

 

[DTYME83]

Brakes have been upgraded, got to go back in a couple of months for the rears, but the car is now ready to accept more power

Very smart How much do the calipers cost? I couldn't see them on this page.

Now treat her to a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports to cope with the extra power

 

[DTYME83]

The front brake setup come to £1198, just waiting for the rears to released.

 

[thewanted]

That's not a bad price if they're considerably better than the stock setup. Did you go for Strada or Corsa pads?

I saw that but I couldn't work out how you got red calipers. Didn't notice the fine print underneath!

There's this kit too but it's big money!

Nice, question is though does the S1 need 10 pot callipers.

[thewanted]

Definitely not

 

[DTYME83]

Might sound like a dumb question but here goes. What are you driving?? @thewanted

 

[thewanted]

This Sir

Very tempted to go test drive a Golf R though.

 

[DTYME83]

Stick with the S1, have you modified yet???

 

[thewanted]

No, not yet. It's completely standard.

Like I said in the other thread, Esure won't insure a 30%+ power upgrade so I have to wait it out until my renewal in September and then see what the quotes are like with other companies.

Which power upgrade are you going with? Revo?

 

[DTYME83]

Waiting for APR

 

[thewanted]

Have they given you an ETA?

I'm chickening out of the TD1 saga and going to MTM, ABT or DTUK.

 

[DTYME83]

It's doesn't matter what way you go Audi will know despite what people might say about the tuning boxes being undetectable. No eta on when APR will be releasing the map.

Brakes look good.

I thought the S1 front Discs were 310mm?

 

[DTYME83]

I have upgraded to 312mm @Stuttgartrob

 

[Stuttgartrob]

I read it wrong I see its 323mm now

 

[DTYME83]

The standard discs @Stuttgartrob

The standard discs @Stuttgartrob

I might look into this after I get my 17x8's for track use. I already upgraded the brake fluid and I want to see how much fade I have after a trackday at Nurburgring.

 

[DTYME83]

I have upgraded to 312mm @Stuttgartrob

323mm sorry

 

[shakey_hand_man]

[DTYME83]
