[kam]

Hi guys can anyone confirm if the brakes from a Porsche cayenne will fit the mk5 golf gt tdi without any modifications, if not what would be the best Porsche brakes to fit without too many mods thanks

You mean the massive 6 pot ones?

Surely massive overkill on a Golf!?

You might then need to beef up your rear brakes to achieve some balance. Then there's tyres to get all that braking power down onto the road surface.............

Ha, exactly what I was thinking!

How about the touareg 4 pots?  Any cheaper than 986's?

I have a set on my ED30

They bolt up but you'll need spacers manufactured to make the bolt holes smaller and high tensile bolts to boly them to your hubs. I've used 350mm Mercedes ML discs (£150 from Mercedes dealers) but these will need a ring put inside the disc to fit the hubs also. Currently I'm running standard Pescara's and have to use a 12mm spacer to clear the brakes

Hope this helps

And shoulder bolts proper ones in EN16 are £100 a set.....DONT buy the ebay ones, call me old fashioned but the brakes holding your brakes on need to be up to the job and tested.

Last time we tested some EN16 bolts we got 70 tensile tonnes in shear, the bolts VW supply to attach the subframes to the cars are 12.9 Tonnes for comparison...

Ours are also fine threaded .......you could hang a Mk5 from a museum roof with one of these puppies

Do you make/sell the calipers brackets for the GT2 version of the Porsche 6 pot at all Dave?

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

Yep got those....

[ChrisP]

What disc and size would you recommend Dave?

[Vasekk]

It is easy to fit them. Cheap BBK i would say. I am looking for 2piece rotors but no luck with them. It is not compatible with aluminium swivels (cupra, passat).

Discs?

Adapters?

[Vasekk]

Discs Merc ML/GL 350x32. No adapters needed. You just need 1mm center ring for disc and 1mm rings for calipers holes because calipers have 16mm holes and swivel 14mm. I made special bolts for this.
