Which brakes for spirited road 360+bhp?

[Gaz]

Im after a good set of brakes for my Mk6 Golf, its running 360+bhp so will need good brakes for some very spirited road driving!

Im running 19x8" BBS CK ET45 so should have a fair bit clearance.

Not sure S3 brakes with upgraded discs/ pads will cut it.

I love the look of RS3 brakes with the massive 370mm discs but think id struggle to get them in my wheels offset and i cant use spacers as theyre already flush with arch and sitting low?
Or will they fit under 19" ET45?

What do people recommend?

This is for hardcore driving, numerous hard braking from 100+, when i mean spirited driving i mean it! Lol

Good afternoon

Any good brake kits are not going to come cheap, however I run the Forge 6pot setup on my GTI MK5 (K04) 360BHP on track with some Ds1.11 Pads and they are truely epic..

It depends how much u want to spend mate,

My 19" bbs ch-r's without spacers
You can buy ttrs/Aston Martin calipers & golfR/s3 discs but you
Will need brackets from Aks tuning

Think monte has the Aston Martin brakes on his tucked under bbs ck 19 " ET44  that's the set am going for

You can get TTRS brakes or Touareg 3.2 V6, both are Brembo 4 pot.

I have a friend who fitted the Brembos 4 pot from the Touareg with the MB GL450 350 mm brake discs.





They're a direct fit with bolt adaptors, just like the Brembos 18Z 6 pot I've fitted in my Ed. 30. My friend has Helios wheels that don't require spacers. I have OZ Ultras that also don't require spacers.

I reckon the 362 mm AP discs with DB9 brakes is a better kit.

Hi mate,
Please tell me you'll also be using the best available tyres when you are driving in a "hardcore" manner on public roads.

Thanks.

I have these:
Too much with Pagid RST3 pads on the road but they work effortlessly on track. Hard braking repeatedly from 130/145 doesn't phase them at all. They're also desirable if re-sale becomes necessary. They can stop a much more powerful car than mine at 340bhp.

Set yourself a budget otherwise the sky is the limit. Whatever caliper you go for consider a floating rotor. They manage heat far better.

I run the stop tech st41 kit. Amazing. Allot of track use. Never faded. Get better when hot. Don't get drilled disks though.

Very good advice!!

Don't 'over' brake the car !!

You'll never over brake a car. Look at touring cars.

Just need to ensure that the front and back are balanced in the force used.
