Upgrade to r32/s3 brakes worth it?

If you consider the Porka anchors have a look in my build thread for part numbers and links to DaveB's NQSBBK thread etc etc, page 1 in my thread IIRC. Great set up and more than capable of looking afte my Stage2+ Mistress. My set up was under £1k once and that's once id had the calipers refurb'd, bought the fitting kit, added new discs and new pads and shims, fresh fluid and fitting so not too bad.

And yes you'll need spacers for the NQSBBK if you have 7.5" ET51 whereas you won't need them with the R32 calipers with those wheels. No need for spacers with most set ups if you have 8" ET44 (ish).

Ok mate cheers I'll have a little look through! What size spacers would I need with this kit? 7.5" et51

If your not racing it around the track then the r32 set up is the way forward especially when you do the rears as well

H&R 8mm Hubcentric spacers will be the puppies your after. Contact Alex at AKS for them if you go that route.

My 8" ET44 wheels allow 13mm more clearance for the NQSBBK over standard wheels......

have you got a picture to see how far your car is lowered Martin..My wheels are the same of set as your car and keep thinking of going bigger brakes but not sure if I will start catching the arches with spaces on

@dansmith180     

@maxitrol  those are my 18" VZ's fella, your being 19" CK's?. Carlo's is lowered now on Coils IIRC and still rolling on 19"s. Don't think he had any problems with just the H&R either.

Cheers Martin for the info some thing about now as would like bigger brakes on the front to fill  my wheels up

What about the twin pots with 360mm disc?

[Andy]

Oh tell me more Rich

[rich83]

Do a search on here and Google. Top cat had them I believe.

I'm thinking r32 brakes so I don't have to get spacers but then I guess the NQSBBK kit is lighter and obviously 4 pot and the wheels I want are et45 8.5j

Looking at r32 fronts and rears, I don't take it on track but I do love a country road drive  will I see a decent improvent to benefit spending the money on them? Cars running about 320bhp at the moment
