Porsche Brakes

[Cupra_joeboy]

just wondering if this conversion had been done before, alot of the VW guys do this quite regular. not something im looking to do yet as i dont have an Ibiza yet (need some money) i have lots of interest in the car though and just making future plans really.

 

[Forbez]

Yes it has mate, only a small group of people mind.

quattronics in lincoln mate!! they do them i was gettin GT3 ones for mine but the guy had an accident n i needed my car done asap so took it to jabba instead but its a very possible conversion mate!! think he uses discs off a R32 golf and re-drills them! hope this helps! cost is about 1200quid fitted i think!!

 

[Forbez]

347mm disks on the R32! Those are large ass brakes!

 

[carlisle pete]

not sure dude as i said thats wat he told me he was using but due to time i had to go else where!

Anything is possible, just depends on how much money you wanna spend.

People like Godspeed will do one off setups just get your credit card ready and your ass greased up thats all.

Depending on the size caliper/discs you want to run a guy on Edition 38 does a conversion for well under a grand.
Think it uses boxter rear 4 pots and mabe cupra R discs but its cheap (£600 mabe)
Your brakes are the same as golf/corrado G60 so thats what you need conversion wise if asking etc...
Hope this helps

someone in hull got them, he on here too - cupra44

996 turbo calipers (big red's) & Cupra R disc's (305mm)

heres a piccy
(sorry will, thought i'd nick em and use them on here)

 

[DIFT]

Possibly one of the sexiest setups ever!

 

[pj1985]

Can these be made for 4x100 though without redrilling the discs?

 

[pdcupra]

they are using 305mm Cupra R discs, which are 4x100

 

[cupra44]

Yes I am running 305mm discs from the cupra R, and if anyone wants my calipers there are for sale on edition 38 for 375 0n0 delivered, CALIPERS ONLY !!! Thanks

 

[h17och]

are they boxter rears or fronts?

 

[cupra44]

Front's and they are massive I'm only selling because they don't fit under my new porsche wheels, these are known as 996 monoblocks

 

[PhilW]

Do you have to use custom bracket to fit them to the discs?

 

[cupra44]

Do you have to use custom bracket to fit them to the discs?

Nope

 

[PhilW]

Thats quality, so all you need is the calipers with cupra r discs and hoses to match. Awesome.

How come nobody found out about this ages ago that the porsche calipers just fit straight on with no other modification needed? seems abit too good to be true, now off the the scrap yards we all go in search of some porsche calipers lol. exactly what model doe they come off? What type of clearance issue do they have as they look massive? ie what wheels will they fit behind, standard cupra 16" or wheels that suite the likes of wilwood or brembo.

Very interesting, as above any answers to these quetions wuld be good
