NQSBBK really cost effective?
Lucastheone92:
Gradually ticking off the stuff to buy for fitting my NQSBBK and i've just finished painting the calipers.
I've recently just started doing some number crunching and the total comes to almost £900!
There's currently refurbished 6 pot brembo's on ebay for £600 which seem more cost effective.
Am i doing something wrong?
Calipers=£300
10mm H&R hubcentric spacers x 4 = £178
Porsche anti vibration dampers= £47 Cheaper from Porsche?
New pads brembo=£60
10mm h&r spacers=£160
Porsche to vw braided brake lines HEL= £50
caliper adapters and bolts=£100
=£895

The NQSBBK uses stock 312 mm discs. The kits that use 350 mm discs are from the Porsche 996 Turbo (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=42137.0) or from the Porsche Cayenne/Touareg/Q7 (Brembo 18Z).

Ok thanks.
I've also just realised I had the H&R spacers on my list twice.
I've managed to bring the price down a little too as I think I only need 5mm spacers.
Can anyone recommend some good pads for this kit?
