NQS BBK A Not Quite So Big Brake Kit..NQS Rear mods now.....

[rex]

Also just started work on the lightweight NQSBBK bracket, this bolts to S3 hubs and the whole package weighs the same as a packet of maltesers

Dave, please tell us when you are done with it.
I was thinking of buying the S3 hubs but the current brackets don't work so I never bought them.
So I am very interested in this!

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

They'll hopefully be ready for the 29th, i have a vision of a stripped out track DSG Mk5 with around 300BHP on S3 hubs, KW V3's with some adjustable top mounts, polybushed TT lower arms, 315x22 J hook two piece rotors with Boxster 4 pots with some RS29's.

I reckon thats 18kg-22kg per corner saved.

That'd be fun wouldn't it?

Still think those £2000 BBKs look good value?

:D. Aren't the discs a bit too thin?
I am going on a Nring + Spa trip on the 4th of August so I might buy those brackets after I return.
A setup with TT arms, S3 hubs, nqsbbk + 2 pierce rotors would save quite a lot of weight (from my calculations not more than 10kg compared to stock GTI, but a lot compared to GTI + R32 brakes).

   By the time im on my 2nd or 3rd set of discs then.  Expensive to maintain / service would you say?

Hmmm I keep looking at tis thread and thinking of ditching my r32 kit.

Dave how do these compare to the r32 in terms of stopping power? Obviously they are about 1/2 as heavy.

29th .... Yay. Less than a week.

You don't have any sneak peak photos of the golf do you with the breaks fitted for teazer pics ?

Well .......its less bout "stopping power" (define btw!)  and more about pedal feel, pad availability, its difficult to achieve good modulation with a single piston.... they just feel better which inspires a lot of confidence, R32 setups are great fro the money but you wouldn't describe them as a performance setup as fitted to an A4 3.0TDI SE Estate!

The pedal feel is the best bit about them, its not quite R8 Rears on the front with S3 rear calipers on the back but its also not £2000 either

If I could upgrade for another £300 on top of what my R32 setup would fetch I would do.

Having said that if it was me I'd buy new calipers from Porsche and leave them black.

Sound good to me... Where do I sign? Are the calipers not a fortune from Porsche?

Yeah that's what i figured so thought I'd check. Dave must be one of the most in demand folk over the world of Vag forums. Across all the forums i bet he must get 100's!
