TTRS brakes - why is everyone selling them?
« on: March 18, 2011, 02:02:19 pm »
What's the dealio? Why are the all being dumped off TTRSs like they've got herpes? The recipe seems ok:

2-piece 370mm disc - check.
4 pot Brembo caliper - check.

I had 4-pots on 343mm discs, the VWR set up has them on 360mm discs - both are stop-after-stop smash your face in powerful. Even my French sh!tbox on 4-pots and 312s will go all day on track and at 1200kgs, it isn't night and day lighter than the TTRS....

So what have Audi done wrong? Surely there must be a fix here and a great set of stoppers from a bargain panic sell?

Mine are cracking.  well happy with them.  Stop me with minimum fuss very quickly!  The only upgrade I will be making is pads, as and when the time comes.

LOL - Who has the biggest competition...?

Sure he's on 18s, so they can't be following him. Just interested to see what the perceived 'weak' point is.

It seems from his thread he is just doing two identical project cars so might not be anything wrong with them just not bespoke! He is obviously keeping the discs for some reason.

I think there is a bit of something going on over at VAGOC.  Many are anticipating a 500/600hp BT upgrade sometime soon  :evilgrin:

I know JKM fitted a set of bigger brakes on a TTRS a little while back.

Aye, it's not really why Poverty is selling his, more why the vibe coming from some owners is: the brakes are no good. Are they no good as they are, or no good for a 500HP BT car.

Just curious really.
