W3RKD 0 Posted July 21, 2003 BREMBO 4-POTS If anyone wishes to upgrade there brakes to seat brembo 4-pots,here`s a list of the parts: Brake disc-305mm/28mm-part no-6KL615301-£50 + vat each. Caliper with pads-6KL615123 & 6KL615124-£86 + vat each. Bracket for caliper to hub-6KL615421-£11 + vat each. Bolts for bracket to caliper-6KL615141-£4.50 + vat each. there you go no need to be taken for a ride now you can go and buy them from vag yourselfs for very good money!! just see how cheap these kits are then ask yourself how some companys can warrent the prices they are selling them for ?? btw i dont sell this kit as i dont see the point in selling somthing that anyone can go to vag and buy themselves...

W3RKD 0 Posted July 21, 2003 why 4 of everything ? got two cars for them.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted July 21, 2003 Nice one, D. With 305mm discs I presume 16s would be the minimum? And Jim, I think you'll find thats for the fronts only, unless you have 4 brake discs at the front of your car.. ;) £356 inc VAT for brand new 305mm disc front-system with 4-pot calipers? Sounds yum to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted July 21, 2003 Oh I see... I figured you'd do it all round, but I guess not ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted July 21, 2003 You'd need to mod the rear axle a fair amount to fit 'em. And watch that rear-lock-up with 305mms rears!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted July 21, 2003 What about 5-stud though? Can we use the calipers, pads, carriers, etc but find a 5-stud 305mm disc? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bluxie 0 Posted July 22, 2003 16" is what is on the Cupra R that is equipped with these brakes, but it's not that easy, it's not just the 16" but also the offset and how wide the rims are, and if it are deep disch rims it will be a problem to fit these... This is a pic of my car with the 305 disc put on to compare with the 256mm from my 16v Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazzaG60 0 Posted July 22, 2003 darren. whats the price on the braided hoses for that. dont see um on the parts list but do see um on the picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rams 0 Posted July 22, 2003 I have bought a set of braided hoses from German and Sweedish for £50 6 line kit for my VR. If I decide to go for the brembos, would I need different braided hoses or not? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted July 22, 2003 just one question how does this effect ABS anyone know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rams 0 Posted July 22, 2003 It shouldnt I guess, most newer cars like the Seats etc have ABS. Its only the sensor that marries up with the ABS system in the C. Well thats my logic 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluxie 0 Posted July 22, 2003 This doesn't affect your ABS, the ABS just comes into play when your wheels are going to lock up, it uses sensors to determine the rotating of the wheels, every surface and tire condition combination is different, so bigger brakes are no problem for your ABS it just changes the force of braking so the wheels will rotate at all time, when you brake fully you can feel the vibration from the ABS constantly taking away pressure and letting some more back on there...

Rams 0 Posted July 22, 2003 What set up is needed for a 93 VR6? I will invest in a set! Is there a rear upgrade that use brembo calipers? :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ray_vr6 1 Posted July 22, 2003 I would love to do this upgrade. But when chatting to a very knowledgeable mechanic a while back- he warned that the callipers being alloy expand and contract a lot during heavy use. This leads to them having to be stripped a rebuilt on a fairly regular basis. Does this sound likely? :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluxie 0 Posted July 22, 2003 just make the 5x100 into the discs.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rams 0 Posted July 22, 2003 ray_vr6, Hi there. Where did you get your info from and was this the new seat range which could be different! I was born is Edinburgh! How is fantastic Edingurgh! I used to live near Drumbrae Hill, the actual road if you know it was Craigmount Avenue North? Are you near there and how old are you? I went to Clermiston school, sorry, this should be a private message, but never mind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
