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

[snowfree52]

I was just answering his questions, didn't even talk about prices.

I know how hard it is to find all the pieces of the puzzle, moreover in good shape, and if I could save someone the hassle of tracking down everything ... Honestly those have been sitting on my desk since April without me selling them because I didn't bother.

A bit harsh to delete my post witout notice but hey, it's the interweb

Hi Snowfree,
I've tried to send you a pm - didn't work, I think you need a few more posts under your belt. Perhaps you can PM me ?

[snowfree52]

I sent you an Email

Also, having a further dig through, I see I need to swap the brake line on the caliper around so the smaller piston engages first, correct? Also, are those lovely 312mm J hook discs still in production via AKS Tuning or someone? Have e-mailed AKS regarding mounting adaptors and lines...

[snowfree52]

yes, correct !

[th3_f15t]

Cool. May just ask the refurb place to do it when they strip them down and rebuild them... Far easier. Currently looking at adaptors on eBay for comparison on prices.

th3_f15t; have you managed to source a adapter/fitting kit yet?

[th3_f15t]

Still waiting for a price from AKS Tuning, estimate about £200. You can get hold of aluminium ones on eBay but for the price I'd prefer one from the master of brake DaveB.

[Redtom91]

Awesome, have AKS got back to you at all? Or did you phone? Same here, for around £200 I'd rather have DaveB approved bits.

[th3_f15t]

As mentioned, still waiting for a response from AKS. They're usually booked out for months and the guy is always working so I don't expect an instant response. Besides, it'll be a few months before I can afford this upgrade.

If you want the sooner and possibly cheaper, put out a wanted advert in the relevant section, I'm sure there's a few people that have these kits stashed away in a draw somewhere.

Alex of AKS  is a great great chap, but sadly isn't great at replying to emails. He will have all the time in the world for you if you phone him though.

Last I spoke to Alex DaveB doesn't sell directly anymore, only through AwesomeGTI or AKS. So if you're buying parts from AKS, they are from DaveB. In any event, Alex never NEVER compromises on quality. If you're buying from him it has got his seal of approval and to me that is more than enough for me to trust it.

I Bought my TTRS calipers to R32/ TTS disc brackets from AKS and they're very well made and a perfect fit. The brakes haven't fallen off yet either so they must be alright

How's it going fellas...found this thread and joined from the other side of the pond (I guess you'd call me a "colonist"  ) just to say thanks for putting together such an informative thread and for pioneering the NQSBBK. I picked up a set of Boxster calipers on eBay for around 235 GBP. I was pleased to see that they appear to be in great shape and come with Galfer pads with quite a bit of life left and the stick-on anti-squeal dampers that fit into the pistons  Will I run into any issues re-using the Galfer pads, or is there anything I need to do to them to help them mate up with my current rotors?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Are the NSQBBK fitting kits still being supplied/sold?

Yeah, just phone AKS Tuning and speak with the man himself, Alex. I was there the other week and asked about them too, although he'll try and talk you into running 340 TTRS discs with Aston Martin calipers (he did me, anyway!).
