As steve says john ive seen the remains of the tarox's and id steer well away aswell! Then you could always get the audi/ lambo 8 pots like i have, they are awesome pal witb fully floating discs and rs42 pads. :happy2:

My understanding is that your set-up is still lighter than OEM too?

Mine is extremely noisy and deasn'rt deal well with heat, even heat gererated by spirited road driving, the stop the car very well, but the upsides drown in the downsides IMO  :sad1:

Are yours 1 or 2 piece discs?  Mine are 1 piece and ive not noticed noise to date.  I got mine very hot on track but tbh they are DS2500 which isnt a hardcore track setup

Thats correct john, lighter than oem, to date they have been excellent and the wear rate of the rs42's is pretty good to considering the abuse. Defo the route id be taking. Uprate your master cylinder to for around £100 and it will deal with the extra amount of fluid aswell. Speak to dave about that.  :happy2:

Different set-up Sy. The 6 pots are a new design over the older 10pots and the 1 piece discs are very OEM.  :happy2: Imagine the 6pots as a NQSBBK with added bite. :happy2:

The list clearly shows that all the info on this forum has be used to select the perfect parts for your car John, i would chose the same parts for a new build  :congrats:

Brakes look no further than LOBA  :innocent:
Regarding rears, do you want 330mm 2 piece rears or 350mm 2 piece rears??







Utilizing the standard rear caliper and pads  :happy2:

Yes, I've done some extensive investigations before pulling the trigger - as I will with the brakes.

OOOOOOOOOH, those rears look the biz.

I'm guessing lighter than OEM too. May look into lighter calipers too. :smiley:
