Get them on!

I have posibility to buy rear ceramic rotors 365mm from A7 (probably other audi models whare ceramic brakes are fitted). I would like to combine them with R8 like 8pistons calipes. I will make custom bells if needed. Do you think it may work together?

[Hurdy]

I think you'd need ceramic specific calipers for those discs. IIRC the heat management is more critical for the cylinders in the calipers to protect the fluid from the higher temperatures generated by the discs and pads. R8 calipers would be okay if they were ceramic brake calipers, not sure you'd get away with normal R8 calipers designed for steel discs. DaveB is your man to confirm.

[Vasekk]

I found out that they cannot be used with R8 calipers because disc surface is too small.

Some news here... i have bought mint set of OZ Ultraleggera 8x18 ET45 for some track fun for 420£. 19" BT wheels were waxed and polished.. and i also get new ultralow car jack

I have just realised that last year i have replaced diverter valve G(which was originaly on car) with D. What is better?

[Hedge]

I think you should be running a G.

The D is from the 1.4TSI and can cause problems of it's own.

Ok i will try to swap them.

I am still not sure what remap to take. Next winter i would like to go for K04 rebuild. So now i am looking for normal Stage 2 remap. For K04 i would probably go for Revo or Apr. Problem is i am outside UK so only possibility is flashing tool or sending ecu.

Wheel job done.. waiting for center caps. Iphone do not handle black well 

[vRSAlex]

Looking good.  Are they facelift mirrors?

[Vasekk]

Yes they are. Was fitted in factory already because this is almost latest prefacelift car produced

[rob_e]

looks great with the new wheels on.

:)

[Hedge]

I like those wheels but I think the Oz's will look the business. 

[Vasekk]

I have tested OZ's too but just 1mm clearance to calipers, grr. Will have to use my 3mm spacers what i use for winter BBS.
