Want to keep the OEM look, how much heavier are they than the Porsche calipers? What do they normally sell for? They don't seem to expensive compared to a scruffy pair calipers only for £300 plus postage.
okay thanks, would you be able to point me in the right direction for a kit as Badger 5 website doesn't have the brembo gt jnr which tbh seem a bit too much at £1200.
Thanks!
have gone and got the brembo now as it sounds like they have more stopping power anyway. Also the 323mm tarox disks are £270, the r32 334mm tarox disks were over £200 more!!! Plus blue brembos will be a little different!When you're lugging a few hundred kilos of haldex about, a couple kg's of brakes is gonna be the least of your worries!
They must be heavy though, massive steel calipers! The brembo LCRs must be aluminium if they're lighter than single piston stock calipers?
Came across your "Saudi" build thread last night, epic the amount of work and skill that has gone into that!
Car will be driven fairly hard with the occasional track day, running about 260hp now but hopefully be 350-400 eventually so want to build to that.
Okay, thanks for all the info! Grooved disks it is then (not tarox), will probably need to change them by the time I get the thing at 350hp anyway.
Going to go for these disks if they are the right idea? Not ideal that they're drilled but these with DS3000 pads, braided lines and high temp fluid... Seat rear disks are 256mm vented same as S3 anyway.
Okay, will have a look somewhere other than ebay or send the guy a message and see if he stocks the non drilled.
