Title: next up, increased braking to the valver
Post by: blueandy on 31 July 2011, 21:21

So I'm tracking the valver for the remains of the year on standard calipers with ds2500s, probably with braided hoses.

But I'm looking at upgrading the calipers and discs for next year.

I have heard that S3 calipers will fit with 312mm discs but looking at the calipers it seems to me that they are a hulking gfreat big single pot.
Another alternative is the fit the toyota K-sports but they are £750 odd.


Whay do you guys know?

312mm set up is well worth it.

Aha Len, just the chap.

Where do you get twin pots from please?

If not, and I go S3 all I need is the carrier to space my existing caliper correctly, plus a set of grooved discs obviously but probably will get them new from Camskill or the like.

I don't see any point in fitting twin pots, 312mm set is fine, they work really well on the vRS so with a mk3 being lighter you will not need anything else really.

Me neither...if you need more than 312mm ATE sliding callipers, then just go for 4 pots.
