got my brakes on today

[owen lcr]

Hi folks, got my brakes on today and wow they have got some serious stopping power, look the part and set the car off nicely i think.

very easy fit and all went smoothly

heres some pics~

(apologise about the dirty wheels and silver wheel stud, this will be sorted tomorrow weather permitting)

what do you all think

 

[LEE69]

Bloody hell they are huge!!!

 

[Cupraken]

Look wicked! What are they and how much?

 

[techie]

holey moley

 

[owen lcr]

rs4 callipers and rs6 discs, work really well and i am really glad i went for them... if anyone want a good setup then these are thoroughly recommended by me. just beware of the standard rs4 discs as they are prone to cracking this is why i went for the rs6 discs as they are bullet proof (ish)

 

[Cupraken]

How did you work that one out Owen?

 

[wild willy]

looks lovely mate, what pads are you using.

 

[owen lcr]

work what out?

they are standard audi pads but not sure what make they are? i am going for ds2500 when these are done

 

[agentme]

thats sick!!
what rs4 and what rs6 ?
do you have some partnumbers ?
damn - i wan't those asap

 

[Cupraken]

How it would all fit!

 

[owen lcr]

i can get part numbers tomorrow mate but as far as i know they only come in black, these where sent away to be redone in white by the previous owner.

i cant really take any of the credit im affraid, i bought them off a guy with a scirocco and new they would fit mine as they are the same setup.

i did alot of research into brake upgrades and this came out cheaper than all other setups. im sure someone can find other kits but these just tickled my fancy

Cool - Where did you get the spacers from and are you still ok clearance wise with the arches?

 

[owen lcr]

autosave dundee, yeah there is plenty of clearance as i only put 10mm spacers on, i prefer the overall look not as the wheels now fill the car out a bit... will get some photos up tomorrow of the whole car once its cleaned hahaha

You done front and back or just the fronts?

Looks very tidy.

So just a straight caliper and disc replacement/pad replacement all nice and smooth no worries then?

I'll stick with mine for now bit if go further down the mods to stg2+ well worth considering.

Some people recommend the porsche 4pots as well

Thats interesting as mine caught on the arches with the sportlines now and again. Let me know when you are heading up this way as I need to see them

 

[owen lcr]

yeah these are 8 pots, all really smooth fitment, appart from the fact my wheels needed 5mm wheel spacers to clear but i went for 10's just for piece of mind!.. , now that i think about it i should have really done a thread on it but its really straight forward. will get some good photos tomorrow.

they are just fronts as the rears cannot be upgraded on our cars unless also upgrading servo to cope with both sets of callipers.

not sure how much a servo upgrade would cost. saying that you wouldnt want bigger rears. well i wouldnt

partnumbers would be awesome, thanks!
ill just get mine painted aswell.. just in red i think!
but everything was plug'n'play or did you have to get mounts made for them ?

 

[Adam's Cupra]

Are these the onces that were on the White scirocco in performance vw? They look sweet!

 

[RobH]

Truckload of win their Owen, look mint and I bet massive stopping power.

 

[owen lcr]

ok will do bud, well i havent been over any jumps yet hahah, i will double check tomorrow. was it your fronts or rears that rubbed???
