We ordered some DaveB brake goodies, opted for TTRS/RS3 calipers, AP 362mm discs, Pagid Blue RS4-2 pads.



Still awaiting the calipers to come back from Brake Caliper Refurbs... :party:

lookin nice Mandy  :happy2:

your R is defo progressing faster than mine  :sad1:

 :signLOL:

I'm sure yours will be a beast once you've got your modding fund sorted. :wink:


Those discs look very familiar.

Did you go for the same setup Rich?




We ordered some DaveB brake goodies, opted for TTRS/RS3 calipers, AP 362mm discs, Pagid Blue RS4-2 pads.



Still awaiting the calipers to come back from Brake Caliper Refurbs... :party:

Sorry Alex... :ashamed: You're always busy so didn't want to keep on at you, managed to get hold of Dave and I was sold. :drool:


:surprised: Lambo's are they Rich?
 :wink: :evilgrin:

No, no, no! Did consider them but the cost of replacement pads and discs didn't make them a sensible choice.

The discs I wish I could of afforded :love: The owner of Brake Caliper Refurbs seems a very busy man, popped down there the other day to drop some brakes off and he had a big box full of calipers in his unit and a rangey all taped up getting detailed with a very nice brown caddy that looked to be on air behind it.

Yeah I think Jonny said the lead time was about 2 weeks, been having trouble finding the paint code for the calipers too. He's gonna paint the calipers on his Caddy the same colour as ours, I must have such great taste! :grin: :signLOL:


Wheels are looking great Mandy  :drool: was wondering if you'd fit them yet  :signLOL:

Good choice on brakes too will be immense stopping power

Speaking of power what do you reckon your making now?

Dave

Thanks Dave, had the wheels on a while now, just forgot to update my build thread. I'm hoping the brakes will be a noticeable improvement! Once we've got the Revo DSG map on we'll get it dyno'd, I'm hoping for around 340-350bhp. :happy2:

Excellent upgrades Mandy. Should have some decent oomph now.  :happy2:

Thank you Hurdy, it's definitely got a bit more oomph now! Just out driving today and Romany nearly fudged his Huggies in the passenger seat. :driver: :laugh:

Brakes look insane mate!

Quick question, how did you contact Brake Caliper Refurbs? Looking to have mine done but no contact via email or instagram.
