POLL: War of the brakes

[danishmkvgti]

Here's a Cayenne BBK for the back end. Lusted over these (pics below) a few times over the years

On the top picture the brake caliper has the bleed valves facing downwards

Waiting for the day I can change my vote. Looks like I'll be going down the Porsche caliper route as it's cheaper (both initial cost and replacement parts) and a bit more bling to have a nice Porsche logo under my wheels.

Changed my vote also, these 4pots are incredible.

So the current favorite is ttrs 4 pots and hook discs,  if I'm  wanting to retain the oem eddy wheels. I'm  still on 312mm gti brakes at stage 2+ and it's far from ideal.

You'll need spacers with most wheels with the Audi TTRS brake conversion, most likely an 8-10mm spacer. I'm opting for the NQSBBK and I can run it behind my BBS CH without spacers, it uses the stock 312mm disc and is about half the price of the Audi TTRS set up but still uses a 4 piston Brembo caliper (from a Porsche). Cheaper in the long run to service too.

I Did consider that as an option but could never find the calipers for a reasonable price.  I'll  keep an eye on eBay as it sounds like the way forward.

I am about to fit TTRS brakes to my ed30... Found some ATS Racelight in 19" that clears with 15-20 mm easy!! I have tested OZ Ultraleggera 18" and 19" and the both clears the ttrs calipers! The 18" are tight though...!

That's a good bit of info there, cheers! Might have to start updating the first post with all this info so it's a one-stop-brake-shop for new guys.

All this info will be able to be added to the modification library @dazza has been working on. Coming soon

I forgot about that, will have to add bits in there. I'll add in stuff about the OEM 345mm update as I have quite a few handy hints about this kit, having messed up my own installation of it!

15th of November (or maaaybe this next week if Alex gets a free day...) I'm in for the AKS BBK (DB9/TTRS kit) ... behind my stock Interlagos wheels on my Scirocco... I have a set of 12mm spacers laying around but may see if I can pop over to Alex's to work out spacer sizes before hand.

But you can't just space the front, need to do the rear as well.. Fitment, and all of that crap.
Then the weekend after, is off to Darkside!
