R32 Brakes.

[MDS]

Hello Mateys.

Since I havent seen this mod here, Ive decided to show you all my new upgrade.



Brakes from the MKIV R32 334mm

Painted the calipers in Silver.

Fitted Goodridge Braided hoses.

Now its actually Stops when i need it to ...

 

[Number86]

Are they better/more expensive than the LCR brakes?

 

[MDS]

Im not sure of neither.

I think they may be about the same in both senses.

 

[dan__smith]

Looks good bud! LCR one's are Brembo's

How much were they out of interest?

 

[Icecavern]

Never mind the brakes, I think you need to get those wheels in the post to me

 

[BCM]

look nice and big mate - the bakes that is!

 

[Number86]

They do look nice actually. I saw a mk4 blue R32 with matching blue calipers. That looked awesome too. Anyone know if that's a VW option or a user mod?

BCM - I'm planning on having a big bake later too. Maybe muffins or something!

 

[MDS]

These are made by ATE.

Brembos have more pistons i think.

These only have two larger ones. So i think it evens out.


Brembos got sexy calipers though...


Ill post better pics later... Server is down


I got the them second hand.

The bloke sold them since he had no money for the brake pads.

So some shuffling of my extra parts and a little extra change, and he passed them onto me.

I fitted new pads and hoses.

All in all... +/- 800 Euros

Any chance they will fit behind 17" cupra alloys?

 

[MDS]

I know the Brembo 321mm fit behind 17"

But I´m not sure about these.

Its a matter of calculating.

Ive actually thaught about that, if in future i have a puncture...

Might have to do some serious wheel swapping to get home

 

[Avant4me]

Would have thought it highly unlikely that a 17" rim will fit over those 334 discs. That makes the disc just over 13" before the calliper. Aren't the brembo calipers a tight squeeze on the LCR and they don't have much body beyond the disc.

 

[RobM]

Because the calliper is so much smaller than the Brembo's, 17" wheels might be an possibility. On the LCR, the only 17's I know you can fit is the Audi S3 original wheels. Even 18" wheels struggle to fit a lot of the time.

Anyhow... nice upgrade

Very nice and looks like you're not in the uk, looking at the nice palm trees.. I'd expect the R32 brakes to be good as the R32, is heavier and more powerful

 

[rashcupra]

the car looks great nice tidy mod with the r32 brakes too

 

[mrcoyote]

On the LCR, the only 17's I know you can fit is the Audi S3 original wheels.

The 17" TT seven spokes fit them fine too.

Ooh, Sportec...

 

[rashcupra]

The 17" TT seven spokes fit them fine too.

the TT wheels dont fit mine you sure it wud fit the r32 brakes?

 

[mrcoyote]

the TT wheels dont fit mine you sure it wud fit the r32 brakes?

You don't have a LCR or Brembos.

 

[rashcupra]

seat sport brakes are the same or maybe smaller and i thought if it dont fit mine surely the brembos will be crushed on the lcr

 

[mrcoyote]

So by your logic the wheels on your Ibiza will fit a LCR as well? Is that what you're suggesting?
