If you get some nasty non hub centric 5mm spacers of the bay, I can supply you some Spiggot extenders that I have machined for the TTRS 8 piston setup.

So the spacers take 5mm of Spiggot away but we then add it back on.

I'd be very surprised if you needed anything more than that if anything

Thanks Dave

Brakes will be here this week, will let you know

My Calipers are all refurbished and on route to me from Brake Caliper refurbs, pictures to follow.

My new VW discs turned up yesterday so I sent them off to the engineering shop to have the unused bit removed from the inner and outer faces.  On Daves instructions, I have removed 7mm in by 1mm deep on both sides, as can be seen in the pictures.







The next job will be to paint (hammarite) this new metalwork and the disc bell in black, to prevent rusting and just genrally make them look better - I will also remove the rear discs and do the same, as there is signs of rust o these.

I have Ferodo DS2500 pads to go on, which should give me all the braking I should require for fast road.

Halfords Matt Black VHT exhaust paint is where it's at Oli.

Cracking Job Oli

Its really not that hard to find somebody local to do small jobs like this. It generally only gets expensive when precision is required, a quick setup and a 7mm swipe cost what Oli? 30-40 Quid??

SO about £120 all told for some consumables

I love it when people get involved like this, this is what the NQSBBK is about cheap quality stoppers with a bit of involvement from the user

[Oli]

Dave, I got it done FOC at my local engineering shop because I spend a few quid with them.  But I suspect no more than £40

Hi guys. I'm new here and just reading with interest, this brake mod. Kudos to Dave as it looks very impressive. Just wondering do you know of any one who has fitted this mod to a scirocco. I don't see any mention of it on the scirocco forums. I'd be very tempted to give it a try :-)

[Deacon]

Several people have done it - wigit on here and also daveb himself I believe - along with many others. Not sure which Rocco forum you've been looking on but it's definitely on central.

[wigit]

Fitted this kit to my rocco, great upgrade but needs spacers with stock interlagos rims, I ran tds so plenty of clearance, just waiting for mine to come back from refurbishers

[ferg]

Thanks guys for replies. I must look on central. Wigit did you have any other problems bar the clearance?

Hi Dave,

I bought the BBK  Audi RS 6 B5 from you in 2011. But it never worked well on my GTI (MK5). The steering wheel vibrates constantly when braking. A engineering shop checked both disc, and they are oke. I removed the BBK and are now driving on normal/standard brake kit.
Sorry to bother you this way, but I could not contact you via email. Probably the wrong email address. Can you PM me for a solution or help?

Thanks,

Ronald

Look whats going in the post to me today;



Nearly there.  Still unsure of whether I need spacers or not on the Glendale 19's, but will be going on next week so will find out

I've got 8mm H&R hubcentric spacers on my NQSBBK with Pescaras and the clearance is perfect giving about 5mm.

Go for it!

Those calipers look awesome. One thing though, are those brembo stickers larger than usual?

[MC71]

WOW!  

After seeing these I've remembered I need to get mine done so have just pinged Jonny an email. I much prefer the 986 calipers with Brembo on them instead of Porsche (when not on a porsche that is).
