Brake fitment

[owen lcr]

Hi folks does anyone know if rs4 brakes will fit under 18" team dynamics pro race 1.2

 

[prezf]

they should fit, if you go to amdessex's website the sell it for mk5 GTI and it sais 18'' are minimum so if you have them laready you should be good to go, but honestly do you really need so big breaks ? unless you use car on track you will do fine with 4 pot conversion.

 

[owen lcr]

they have turned up cheap second hand and are cheaper that upgrading to 4 pots, also i am planning on racing my car this year so need more stopping power. thanks for your reply mate

Gimme first dibs on your Lc brakes

 

[owen lcr]

dont you worry Willie, i was wondering if you could put the standard callipers on the rear if i put the rs4's on the front or is that just a stupid idea

 

[prezf]

they most be real bargain then, I got my 4 pot brembos on ebay, brand new for unber £800. But since you're planning to race it it's good idea to get rs4's ones, other good option is ECS Stage 5 Kit, but it's hard to find second hand

 

[Willie]

Too much braking for the rear, you would end up swapping ends.

Gimme a shout if you do go the RS4 route as my Audi could do with better brakes and 345mm ones would fit nicely behind my alloys

 

[owen lcr]

i am getting the rs4 brakes for 1200 all in, which i cant really find anything as good for at the same price. unless you have any ideas

 

[owen lcr]

Ok willie, i thought that about the front on rear but thought the rs4 fronts mine even it out again...

will keep you in the know mate

 

[prezf]

for what you get £1200 is really good I don't think there's anything else that gets close to that. ECS cost about £1500 brand new, Awesome sells them but I saw it cheaper somewhere else. Every now and then there's Porsche kit on ebay, that's 6 pot though.

 

[owen lcr]

yeah i just like the look of these as they already come with the fitting kit and i think they will look the buisiness behind my wheels.

if you find anything else PREZF give me a shout mate

cheers

 

[Willie]

Well the 330mm set up I have with my 4 pots takes a bit of beating.
all down to proper pads and discs

 

[prezf]

I'll keep my eyes open mate But it's true the RS4 setup is sick, probably one of the best on the market

 

[DanGB]

I say they will, as the ET45 fitment of my PR1.2's clear my AP's easily. If you have any trouble, just fit a spacer.

 

[owen lcr]

what make are they willie, where did you but them. The only problem for MK2 leons is 2 peice discs are still unavailible to my knowledge so cant really upgrade the standard setup so that is why i am looking at other ideas.

dont get me wrong i think the standard brakes are great but not with the extra power i am going to be putting through them, i also find the standard brakes fade to fast and if i am tracing my car then i need continuity in my braking

 

[owen lcr]

just the answer i was looking for dan, might have known you would have the answer. i am going to start calling you jeeves

 

[DanGB]

haha cheeky fecker. what ET are your wheels?

 

[owen lcr]

bloody hell i cant remember, i know a man who does though, im sure MR HORACE will be along shortly with the answer

 

[owen lcr]

spoke to horace, he recons they are 45 but i cant remember

Has anyone actually looked in to getting 2 piece discs for the MK2 Leon / S3 / R32 brakes yet? This is the option I am going for now having sold my Brembo's there yesterday.
