Did you originally not bother with them? 

Where did you source yours from? How much etc?

Thanks

The squealing will be used pads over used discs which previously had a different compound on them

Oh and no pad dampeners won't help all the above.

They're on .......you can tidy things up going forward, I'd fit new discs and pads together ...best way

Dave,  The discs were brand new?

What, if any noteable benefit do the dampeners give?

Are these the right part numbers for the textar pads?  21942 TEXTAR T4045?  Are you still looking at getting some mike?

Full marks Mike, thats cheap for those pads.

Textar is porsche OEM, when you get the pads see if it says TEXTAR 4045 on the back....if they do then happy days you've just saved yourself about 200 quid

The ones at porsche parts counter said 4045 on the back of the pad as I asked are they Textar or Pagid, I will check on my way home from work with Textar that they are 4045.

Do you have the p/n?  When I said 2.7 Cayman it narrowed it down to the one price I quoted rather than the 6 possibilities he gave me to begin with lol.

[Tfsi_Mike]

I will be getting some just before we move back to Uk I think. 101 commitments atm 
If you want me to pick you some up I'd be happy to Rich

Dave been looking at the boxster calipers on eBay and theres some cheap ones at the moment but they all seam to be a self coloured black rather then the red?? Am I looking at the right ones? Ive just bought new disks for the front but wondered if you could help in the caliper department?

Cheers

Hi Darren, the boxster and cayman calipers that they need to fit are black anodised not red, its only refurbing them that makes them red, so you should be looking at the right ones!   

Think the part numbers are in the first few pages for the calipers and makeing sure that you get the right type 

[mortygttdi]

Cheers Rich will get them bought

Dave do you still have any fitting kits if so can you pm me a price and also a price for refunkadising them please nice and shiney stoppers to go with that biggggg turbo of mine

Mike ,
How do you find this set up over the standard Cupra calipers?
do you not miss the bigger disc set up?

[Tfsi_Mike]

To look at admittedly I do miss the 345's under The wheel. 

The handling is noticeably improved over the heavy Cupra setup.

The performance is getting better as they get more use.  I expect they could improve even more when I upgrade fluid pads and discs.

I would have liked the VWR setup to improve aesthetics (disc size) and was also a setup with proven use but the NQS BBK wins on affordability and is so far doing a great job

Hi guys,

I am thinking of changing my track wheels and I would like to buy Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 7.5 x 17 ET 45.
Does anybody know if this wheels fits the nqsbbk without the use of spacers? Please note than the wheel I want to buy is only 7,5 inches wide and 17 inches in diameter (opposed to the 8x18 ET45 rim used by many over here).

Thanks  !

[sub39h]

the width and offset shouldn't be a problem, dave's seen my car and thinks they'll fit behind my 18x7.5J ET54 Pescaras. but will they fit behind 17s? only one way to find out 

[rex]

There are no issues to fit under 17 inches. They even fit under 16!!
The width and offset are not problematic, but the problem is the inner wheel clearance.
So guys, do they fit or not?

Can some if you tell me the distance from the caliper (where the caliper is closest to the hub) to the rim spokes for 8x18 ET45 TD Pro Race 1.2?
This is the gap I am interested in:

[mortygttdi]

Well the calipers are ordered and should be here tomorrow, lets see how they cope with with a bit heavier front end?? Althought i have the S3 hubs and wishbones so lighter already?

Bring on the fitting kit, then maybe some track action baby see what this soot chucker can do.
