Going Big Brake

[N8KOW]

Only 1 set of R8s left now, I know whose got their name on them 

[Janner_Sy]

do the R8s fit onto 312s as well. potential alternative to the porsche 4 pots

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

Nope far too chunky, the smaller the caliper to fit the smaller range of discs the smaller the pistons. So you have to be careful about piston travel to make sure you dont start having the pistons come out too far.

The 312 disc is 25mm wide so you wouldn't use an R8 caliper with a design width size of 32mm, but you could consider using a 30mm wide disc. The boxster calipers have pistons that are 3mm shorter per side than say a 996 C2 caliper which is designed for a 28mm wde disc.

So what dod you decide on Wizzo?

Sorry for the late reply guys, havent been on the computer for a while! :) I finally have all parts for my cayenne 6 pot conversion :)

- Brake Disks
- Cayenne 6 pots
- Brake lines
- Bolts for the caliper

All in all i got it for a very very cheap price..

Im planning on fitting soon :) i was just wondering if someone could give me a little walk through of flushing out all my fluid correctly.. i dont want to mess this up, and the cayenne calipers have the bleeding notch on both sides, i've done the gti caliper were it was just work from the furthest away (back right) and get to the closest (front left).. thanx everyone!

One more question:

Do you think ill have trouble clearing the cayenne 6 pison calipers with Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2's?

[paulk]

be good to see the results...i was lookin for a 4 pot to put onto the s3 discs .....team dynamics have a good offset so you should be fine but im no expert

You could fit a double decker bus behind the TD's they are great for big brake kits.

surely this is all dependant on the offset of the alloy in the first place????

Tiz true but there is only one or two fitments that anyone can consider for the Mk 5 with the TD's sizes usually its 45 ET 8J.

Also the design of the spokes lends itself greatly to the fitting. My other wheels are 45 ET as well and i need a 3 mil spacer to fit my brakes behind but with the TD's, same offset and you can get a sausage in between them.

thanx for replies guys :) could someone answer my question on bleeding in the brakes :) ull find it a little higher up their
