Andy:

strapper:
Nice1! I wasn't really wanting to mod the mk5 as I like it standard but if there is one thing I would like to change is the sh*t brakes :signLOL:
I take it the standard discs wouldn't work with the 996 calipers? Is that the price inc the calipers?
Bennett are you pleased with the results from your brakes?
T30GUE:
So roughly how much will a set of 996 calipers 350mm discs and pads be for my Ed30? Do you get any brake squeal? (sorry but one of my pet hates!)
I am currently considering the S3/R32 option to keep it fairly OEM for servicing, but if prices were similar would definately consider the Porsche items.
DaveB@Vagbremtechnic:
The fitting kit normally comprises hoses/carriers/discs and normally comes out at about 400 quid!
Normal 996 front calipers have a geometric limit of 330mm, these come in Silver or Black and have the part numbers 996.351.425 & 426, these are also available in red from the front of a 3.2 Boxster S
996Twin Turbo calipers are all red also come fitted to the GT2 and some GT3, they are 996.351.429 & 430, these have piston sizes of 36 and a rather large 44mm even though you dont expect them to work well they really do. Max disc size is 350mm
Expect to pay between 275 and 350 for calipers from either a breaker or ebay on top of the fitting kit .
The R32 setup is defo cheaper, porsche calipers being monoblock tend to run a bit cooler and are able to run 32mm wide discs which although heavier can take a good pounding on track

There not bad mate, there not really that progressive to be honest, not sure if the master cylinder on the fabia isnt that good or whether them being rear brakes on the porsche there not designed to work like front brakes do, but to be honest a calipers a caliper i would have thought. When you want to stop thought they stop the car on its nose!
