Brake upgrade, RS3 on a scirocco. How easy
« on: June 29, 2014, 11:05:41 pm »
Hi guys.
Im looking to upgrade brakes to RS3 brakes, but have heard that you need TTRS discs when upgrading. Can anyone tell me what's different and if this is the case on a Scirocco or would I still have the same problems as the MK5 guys on here?
Tried the search function but it's a bit of a mine field.  :happy2:

At the moment are you running 312's or 345's? As you have a few options...

Ah I see, well anyway as far as I understand it the options you have are:

  • Use the TTRS disc as the RS3 won’t fit easily due to a different offset. However from what I have read both discs are expensive to replace and widely considered pretty pants!
  • Buy a DaveB fitting kit to allow you to run the TTRS/RS3/Aston 4 Pot caliper on a 340/345mm disc as I have done.
  • Finally the ultimate option a floating rotor setup… If I remember correctly DaveB sells a 362mm kit and Alex sells a 370mm kit
