LCR Big Brakes
Ok, So been having a bit more of an 'in depth' look into big brake kits that would suit my car.
I REALLY fancy some filthy big porsche cayenne brakes and it appears they come in various flavors;
1. 'Normal' Cayenne 2003 - 2010 - 330mm Rotor
2. Cayenne 'S' 2003 - 2010 - 350mm Rotor
3. Cayenne Turbo 2003 - 2007 - 350mm Rotor
4. Cayenne Turbo 2008 - 368mm Rotor
5. Cayenne Turbo 2009 - 2010 - 380mm Rotor
Here is a picture of some different calipers.
I really want the BIG ONES
I'm not really sure of how much work is involved in making these fit on a MK4 platform with 5x100 PCD but it wouldn't give me some decent stopping power Secondly, not sure if ANY of them fit under the standard LCR alloys or if they would fit under any 18" wheels at all.
I have also had a look at the K-Sport brake kits which you can apparently fit the 356mm kit under the LCR alloys.
Decisions, Decisions.

It appears that the Audi Q7 might have a suitable calipers as well, it runs a 6 pot with smaller pistons than the Porsche caliper which should in theory give a firmer pedal feel. These also come up a LOT cheaper than the porsche calipers but aren't official porsche obviously (boooo!)
what about lamborghini brakes? Audi own them so they might be interchangeable (wishful thinking)
I've got cayenne 6 pots on mine (the ones on the left in the pic) you can mate them with r32 discs and just buy adaptors from eBay as well as a few forum members on r32oc iirc
Pedal travel is certinally longer than oem but they just keep performing consistently trying to pull your face off

Hibernation
Well the time has come to put the car into hibernation and not a moment too soon looking at the weather we have had this week. Will TRY and give the car a good wash and get it up on axle stands this weekend and it probably won't be coming out again much before March time.
I've got a list of jobs to do over the winter depending on funds which are
I have been in contact with PorscheCalipers.co.uk with regards to refurbing a set of Cayenne Turbo calipers that I have found on the web, I have also had a look at the Q7 calipers which are an option for me at the moment. Depending on price will depend on what I go for, the K-Sport kit comes out at £1200 (ish) including discs and pads and I think that the set of Porsche or Q7 calipers will work out considerably cheaper, if not I will go for the K-Sports.
Apexi AVC-R for obvious reasons, would really like the gear limited boost control.
After having a look at the IE cams they look SICK, no other word for it. Got a relative going to the US in november so might treat myself to a set then and get him to bring them back with him.
I have also been looking at getting a new set of alloys but still haven't decided. I have seen these on ED38 but can't decided if I think they would suit my car. Obviously need a refurb.
Watch this space over the coming months

- New LCR front bumper as mine is F'd
- New LCR undertray and fixings (£££££ )
