My new 8 pot 365mm brakes.

[devonmikeyboy]

Now that my car is running 300ish bhp ( well when i get the turbo manifold gasket fixed anyway ) i thought i better up rate my brakes. After much searching i finally bought a set of Audi RS4 8 pot callipers and 365mm discs which arrived today. You really have to see these monsters first hand to appreciate how big they are. I just cannot wait to get them on the car and try them out.
Took some picture for anyone interested.

[caney]

[mrcoyote]

Will they stop you flipping your car over though?

Yeah yeah very funny mate . Be afraid i am catching you up fast bhp wise and there is still alot more to come as there are still more engine mods to fit yet. What brakes have you got on you motor then Steve ?

Don`t you start i get enough of those comments from young Spaniels. Most people have a little prang every now and again.

did you make adaptors etc to fit as audi stud pattern is 5X112. What about trying to mount the calipers?

The stud pattern for the MK2 A3 is 5X112. Same as the MK2 Leon, MK5 Golf, etc.

nope, that was total destruction, his car was previously owned by a gymnast, who'd tought it how to a forwards roll, and as mr mike hadnt asked to be shown, its decided to show him on his own accord LMFAO

Fook me chap, you gonna have these on by the time you go up to awsome over xmas? or do you need new wheels first off?

 

[ibizacupra]

got a dyno for those figures?
coming to awesome? be interesting to see it in the flesh strut its stuff.
one hell of a lot of soot


presume you have wheels to clear those brakes... as I run the same on my S8 and caliper brkts were made to suit it as they did'nt just bolt on... and my 19" rims needed small 3mm spacers to just clear the phat brembo calipers... and the cost of the pads makes you wanna cry! Deffo stop tho.

enjoy

you got any pics of the actual car/engine, wouldnt mind a look! brakes look stunning though, thats some serious stopping power, how much are the pads bill?

 

[Yumann]

Nice

Is this going to be a leading or trailing setup? I'm pretty sure that the rs4 has a trailing and an a3 has an leading.

~£200/set for OE pagids-x4 pads per caliper
