Couldn't really get anything bigger behind those wheels eh. Great choice for colour and caliper.

Did you keep your old ones? Saintsteve needs bigger brakes, he just hasn't admitted it to himself yet  :signLOL:

The brakes are great. Very progressive and grab hard when you need it. Hauls down from decent speeds without fuss......they just look soooooo good in Porsche speed yellow.  :wink:

 :happy2: interesting.  My pedal feels great (only 4 pot). I'm concerned about the pad not releasing quick enough on the oem MC and accelerating pad wear though. Does the R have the same MC as the ed30?

I'd have to look on ETKA. The OEM brakes on the ED30 are smaller than the R, so maybe a different MC.

Think it's got the same MC, you want a TT-RS MC to help these John which is what I had on the A3

Is the rs master cylinder much bigger? It can get tight in that area with a big turbo

Defoo keep the lambo logo! You planning anything for the rears?

Yes, I'm going with some TTRS 335mm rears. Keeping the OEM calipers, but painted and swapping the carriers to fit.  :happy2:
