POLL: War of the brakes

[chipmunk82]

Handy advice thanks will bear those in mind

I have a standard Edition 30 (will be Stage 1+ eventually).

I use OEM Rear brakes, with S3 345mm brakes up front using OEM disks & pads. This setup is perfectly suited to my driving style and my plans for power upgrades

I'm already looking to upgrade my fronts to 4 piston Brembo calipers up front!

Wowwww some lovely brake set ups going on in here

[th3_f15t]

So far more people have Lambo brakes than 6 pot ones... Interesting.

I kept standard disks and pads at K03 Stage 2+ and never had an issue stopping. Although mine was purely a road car and I never tracked it; so I didn't need to keep doing high speed stops

Some good reading in this thread.

I have standard mk2 Cupra 345mm pagid discs and pads and after my first track day I need to beef them up a good bit.

I don't do full day track days, only 2hr open pit sessions so nothing mega is required I think. I was looking at Hel lines with up graded pads and fluid and see how that gets on.

I had the NQSBBK on my golf and I knew they were good, much more power but much more feel and control than the standard stuff, which was highlighted when I went back to standard and the first time out I thought I wasn't going to stop!!!
This time though Alex (AKS) has sourced me some TTRS calipers and a fitting kit for the TTS discs (340mm)
Can't wait to get them on!!!!

Let me know how you get on with that set up mate as I'm looking at doin the same thing. Its the price of the fitting brackets that's putting me off tbh.

AKS BBK here 370mm 2 piece with the Brembo calipers

[Little_Dave]

AKS BBK with a 370mm 2 piece disc here too but with DB9 calipers  

[big eck]

What's the difference if the DB9 Aston calipers to the TTRS/RS3 items???

Do the need more messing about to for the 345mm discs???

[Biano44]

I'm pretty sure the only difference is the sticker!

[dan930]

I'm pretty sure the only difference is the sticker!

Think it's the same apart from the sticker

[th3_f15t]

I think TTRS, DB9 and Porsche (not sure of exact model) brakes all use a Brembo caliper of the same design, right? They're all good either way.

I want the NQSBBK...
