HaHa.......Todays update!!!
TTRS Brakes
Alex @ AKS put me in contact with someone who had some TTRS calipers a couple of months ago and they've been sitting on the shelf ever since so last week I popped down to Bedford to see Alex who supplied me with a AKS/DaveB (Vagbremtechnic) fitting kit, TTS discs, braided lines, Pagid RS4-2 pads and 10mm wheel spacers.
The kit has been fitted by Harding Autocare (Breedon on the Hill) this morning and all went without a hitch thanks to Alex's excellent help and support.
I have only driven home in the car so far after doing the suggested bedding in procedure ( 10 x medium pressure decelerations from 90mph-50mph and one big hard stop, all done on private roads )
WOW.......its a great improvement bucket loads more power, better feel although I expect this to get even better and surprisingly a difference in the way the car feels because even though the discs are bigger (340mm) and chunkier they weighed about the same as a normal 312mm disc and the calipers and carriers are loads lighter than the stock pig iron anchors. I'm very impressed and they look as if they were there from the factory!
I also fitted some 10mm spacers,
not for clearance as the wheels are more than capable if fitting them in but because I felt the car needed it.......
The wheels sit perfect now!!!
