POLL: War of the brakes

[Bignod00]

Another one running the AKS 370mm Brembo GT Senior kit here.

Love them, especially now they've got some mental pads in too!





^^^^^Please ignore dirty wheels and HORRENDOUS Falkens....they came on the wheels!
370mm discs actually look fairly small behind the 19's though!



^^^^^ 2 of the 10 kits actually in the same car park!

Stage 2+ where's the oem option 

[Orc]

I'm actually running stock brakes on my stage 2+ 360hp 390ft and it's terrible lol, still yet to decide thinking ttrs as there so cheap on eBay for the calipers anyone know apart from discs if there a direct for or I need lines??

[bluo]

I just fitted a set of seat cupra mk2 front calipers and discs to mine with oe pads, it is essentially the r32 setup in red to match the rears, oh and it was less that half the price from a seat dealer.

After loads of research I decided for this setup as it's best bang for buck and I can still upgrade the discs and pads to further better the setup.

I'm running a stage 2 gti. I've got all the part no's and contact details for the seat dealer if interested... It was approx £800 all in and fitting is on top.

My new AKS/Aston 4 Pot set up on a 340mm TTS disc

[berg]

I've got Mike's 996tt calipers with ML500 350mm j hooked discs

would like to upgrade to the AKS 370mm swet up if a kit comes available.

presume Hurdy's Lambo set up will bolt onto a B8 S4 as probably getting one of those next

How much did this setup cost as thinking for getting the same thing myself? As well as copying your head lights, think I'm just going to copy your whole car.

But if I remember correctly you already have 345’s up front so you just need the fitting kit from Alex which is £250 and some calipers which are £495 new from him with Aston lettering or some second hand TTRS/RS3 ones off here or the bay…

I would probably be advised not to click that link as I've over spent the next 12 month's budget already, but...

*click*

I've always liked the 6 pots!
Get appropriate disc is the main thing. You don't want to build too much heat!

[th3_f15t]

I'd probably run with the one peice J-hooked discs myself at first, as can't afford the AP Racing discs straigh away.

Off topic I know but...

What size are your 19 oz's? Might be looking at a set soon and unsure what width to get either 8 or 8.5 and wondering what ET you have? 45? Obviously need to clear the same bbk so any info appreciated 

[Bignod00]

Hey buddy, they're 8x19 et45 like you guessed. Running 225/35/19 tyres and it's all good. Glad to say the 8x18 et45 also fit nicely over the brakes too as the tyres are much cheaper!

[th3_f15t]

I'm always forgetting that when you go bigger brakes other than OEM, you need to factor offsets, clearance, spacers... Dreams are all well and good!

[MC71]

There's a few sets of BBK's that fit under the OEM 7.5" ET51, not sure which though I want to say AP 4 Pots. Maybe DaveB will pop along to clarify.
