More than you'd expect for a couple of pieces of metal, tend to go for over £100 from the enquiries I've been makingSTOCKY said:How much should you expect to pay for a set of carriers??
BTW If anyone's got any, I asked first
Lee,
Have a look at audi A4 or Audi A6 2.5 TDi calipers. They are the same 312mm on the quattro versions and should be straight fit for the passat.

Find someone with an Ibiza Cupra and they'll have the AP's on them as standard. Speak to cpufreak or Ant and they'll have had Brembos on their Ibizas.Bunnin said:yes pal!

Surely if you dont change the caliper then the surface area will stay the same so stopping power is the same? Can someone confirm this?Bare in mind that to upgrade to a 312mm setup you only need the brake caliper carriers and 312 discs obviously
Calipers you can use the same ones
Although money wise its defo a better deal by far to buy the whole lot from this chap
bit of an old thread this but .
Though the surface area is the same the amount of leaverage is greater also there is more disk to heat up before fade sets in

By moving the caliper and pads further away from the center of the disc, you gain an increase in stopping power (more leverage).
On my Ibiza TDI Sport I definitely required new calipers as well as carriers/discs, as they were of a completely different type to the standard ones.
