POLL: War of the brakes

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

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???

Dave, how much are your bigger discs to buy???

It was and advert on the VAG tuning group......basically read

TTRS discs three months old, slight vibration will be fine after a skim

£200

3 Months.....pretty much sums it up

Technically they're smaller, the kit retails at £1250 and that includes lines bolts carriers etc etc

Sounds a lot but mate that to some eBay TTRS calipers at 3-400£ and its a affordable BBK, if you want new calipers and some fast road Pagids it comes to just under £2k....

Much better value than the VWR kit that costs £600 to make and retails at £2.2k bonkers!

Someone needs to buy those ttrs calipers on eBay in red with brembo decal. Those plus fitting kit discs and pads = winning combo

Not mastered the art of keeping these things quiet yet??

Looking at the price of some of the kits and add that too how much we spend modifying our cars. It would work out cheaper to buy a more expensive sports car with all these mods fitted as std

Maybe.......but where's the fun in that?

I could be wrong but I/we don't modify because we have too, it's because we want too!

My worst nightmare is me passing on, and the wife sells the car for what i've told her it has cost
