hi spec brakes
davv:
it is interesting, why do everybody use R32 calipers and doesn't use tt 3.2?
maybe tt32 calipers are the same as r32, and only discs are differ??
does anybody knows?? :smiley:
xxx_mojo_xxx:
I can confirm from personal experience of the reliability and quality issues with Hi-Spec.
Interestingly, I am still going for them - purely based on an offer they have extended due to my traumatic experiences - some of which were life threatening!!! :driver:
Will let you know how it goes...

Stick to AP's / Alcon's / VWR, or have the brake god that is DaveB1970 sort out a custom set up for you.
Unfortunately the old adage of "if you want to play, you have to pay" is very true especially when it comes to proper brakes for use on track.
My R32 345mm set up will be ok for the odd track day here and day, and providing you dont hammer it too much and leave them to cool, but as Dave will say they can and will fade if abused! They're not designed for track use remember.

thanks guys, and what you think about calipers from TT mk2 (340x30)? I know that they are almost the same as R32, but i didn't found 2-piece rotors on them :sad1: Do somebody produce them? thanks

x2 - Dave B is the resident brake guru. i am running porker 996TT calipers on a 350x32mm disc, and they work. I mean really work! got them under a 18"x8" BBs VZ (shoe-horned is the term i think) they are really progressive, but when needed, by god they work, allied with the S3 rear set up I have they are fantastic. the mod was not without problems, but Dave B has an OCD for brakes, so sorted out in no time.
give dave B a PM.
:happy2:

i would with pleasure, but i live in Moscow... in addition for 1000 pounds i can get here custom bbk, quality of which is very good, but i don't have a lot of money to spend them (for new season i should spend 2000 pounds: tyres, forged wheels, eibach springs and maybe tt 3.2 kit,) how much do 996 turbo kit costs, and are they the same as Cayenne turbos calipers??
