1.0 TSI brake upgrade

[sebatje]

Hi,

Is it possible to upgrade the front and rear brakes? Front caliper seems to be sliding on the front spindle...

What exactly is your problem?
I don't understand "sliding on the front spindle".

You can in theory bolt on brakes from the bigger engined cars.

If you don't understand how brakes work, don't mess with them.

If you want to upgrade, buy some A-grade discs and upgraded pads (look into EBC, Pagid for instance), check if steel braided lines are availble and make sure the fluid is fresh (max 2 years old).

If your brakes are in good shape, but you lack brake performance, then investigate in better tyres. You can have the best brake discs/pad setup, but with shitty tyres, you will not be able to stop faster.

I think they mean that the FSIII brakes on the smaller engine cars don't have a removeable caliper carrier.
The caliper carrier is the front hub and the only way to increase brake size it to replace the front hubs for ones with a bolt on carrier.

and if you do it right, the ABS coding needs to be adjusted
