My new 8 pot 365mm brakes.

devonmikeyboy · Dec 21, 2006

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. :drool:

Took some picture for anyone interested.

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 · Dec 22, 2006

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 · Dec 22, 2006

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.
