[betty_swollox]

 

so how is this working then, first come first served once you've set up an official thread for it?

[MC71]

Dave, do you think I would I notice a big difference/improvement over my current NQSBBK set up?

Fit behind OEM wheels with a 12mm spacer too

To avoid spacers is the trick, not using spacers

I like my wheels and the 312's are shocking so it had to be done

I've just bought my set off a lad on eBay along with near new pagid 4-2 pads. They're surprisingly light and look great in the silver. Just need the fitting kit with braided lines now. Also just bought ate super blue fluid.

I've noticed they don't have wear indicators tho, how do I keep the light from appearing on the dash???

[Bignod00]

^^^^ Good choice pal, if you've got wear indicators enabled it'll need to be coded out using VCDS!

[th3_f15t]

Can't you bridge then end of the sensor to create a signal?

[TommyR]

VCDS is the easy option

[big eck]

Thanks lads. Come to think of it, it might coded out already as the car had the big vwr racing brakes on it before I bought it. I'll check with the previous owner.

Just wondering, what other discs options are available to fit with these calipers without the use of brackets, as in if I wanted to fit a bigger discs??? Is it just a straight bolt on job???

[TommyR]

Not sure exactly on what you will need to fit them but it's possible to fit a 362mm disc



Or a 370mm

[big eck]

Where can I get those discs???

[TommyR]

Speak to Alex or DaveB

[big eck]

Got the chance of a set of TTRS 370mm discs for a good price, cheaper than the fitting kit that aks sell for the 345mm discs anyways.

Are they really as bad as everyone makes out???

[TommyR]

Make your own decision...
