remember Mike diameter means nothing.....its all about the radius! so 2mm so u owe me one half smiley

Come again??

I assume how wide the braking surface is Rich 

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

We consider effective radius in brake Calcs Rich...

Diameter is only here to sell kits

For example

TTS disc is 340mm, R32 disc is 345mm. Pad sits in exactly the same position on both is the R32 disc better even though the extra 2.5mm is just creating a lip and isn't touched by the pad???

Also you would normally use the centre point of the pad radially for calculations, some pads are available with hugely different heights from 41-54mm say.......so by using a smaller pad you are technically moving it further out...that make sense?

Yes that makes absolute sense.

So as i went for 340mm over 345mm,  the pad sits in the same place, same "radial position"  braking effect is the same despite loosing 2.5mm disc size radius.

Does the extra diameter have much effect on heat dissipation?

Id wager not enough to notice unless your a racing driver, racing in a racing car in a race!

[Tfsi_Mike]

I didn't ask if it would be noticeable

I didn't ask if it would be noticeable 

  that's him told

[duncatr]

Are these kits still available?

[rich83]

I don't think so....  but alex can do similar kits.

[duncatr]

Cheers, will ask him and see what he says.

[Tfsi_Mike]

He still does the 362mm kit which is equally awesome 

[duncatr]

Cheers Mike, dont suppose you know the going rate?
