Brembo disks

[James Hindley]

Anyone know what model Audi shares the front Brembo set up on the VZ3? Can not find a price for replacements if searching using the Cupra, thought a search using the Audi equivalent might bring something up???

I believe they come from the Audi TTRS (8J), but can't find a solid source to confirm.

The rotors definitely increase to 370mm (from 340mm standard).

Yeah they're from the 8J TTRS, part number 8J0615301K

A pair of genuine ones will set you back around £750-ish. There isn't a huge choice for aftermarket discs but some suppliers do make them. Around £450 - £500 for a pair of aftermarket ones seems to be about right. A few people on here have tried the Zimmermann ones and seem to think they're okay I believe.

Christ they are expensive, especially given they seem to 'warp' quite easily (or when I look on the Audi TT RS forums they seem to get a build up of pad material on them which gives the impression of warped)?

Mine 'pulse' and grab as though they are warped....

I hear you, when the times comes I'm keen to grab reputable aftermarket as they tend to offer improved quality.

Hopefully DBA come to the table with more options now a couple of models in the Cupra range are using this size.

Some 'Friends' of mine ? would borrow me for ballast so they could give their AP brake discs a good ole clean.
Find a quiet stretch of 'private road' wait till the speedo hit 3 figures and stamp on the brake - repeat a few times and hey presto clean discs ?
