Help I need brakes :D
« on: April 29, 2015, 09:07:46 pm »
R tech next month for a map.
Should be around 330bhp
As a result I need some bigger brakes don't want to spend thousands.
Been looking at the likes of the 'nqsbbk'.
I also need some bilstein suspension and an alk or tt console bushes but that's for another day.

Someone point me in the right direction here? Where to buy and everything I need. I Tryed pm'ing aks alex but have since read that he is very very busy atm which is fair enough

Yeh a bit too pricey
Thoughts on these?

With that RS3 setup you'd need the TTRS disc or AKS brackets and R32/ TTS discs (which is what I use and they're fantastic).

S3 parts front and rear will be fine for road use.  Spec performance pads and fluid. S3 rears are vented in case you didn't know.

Gone but not forgotten :-)

I'll look into these mate cheers are they the same as r32? As a lot say the r32 brakes are really heavy thanks for your help

They are heavy, whether you notice or not is another matter. They're a great value upgrade. On track they will get out of their depth at some point. I never had any issues at all at 340hp with road use. Decent pads and fluid are a must. If I didn't use mine for track days I'd probably still be using them.

I offset the weight gain by fitting S3 arms which are half the weight of the steel oe. They add a little more castor angle and the S3 bushing supplied is stiffer than oe golf. Add a WALK kit and it's a great addition.
