A decent set of breaks on that .:R. How do they compare to your breaks?
Look stunning too.
-
these were the brakes i looked into gettin, worked out to be a stupid price thow :sad:
-
I was reading that thread and someone mentioned that upgrading for bigger breaks is not always better and can make the cars breaking power worse?
Anyone care to explain? And I would have to get rid of the Porsche logo's too.

Why do I keep spelling brake as break??
I need a holiday :grin:

Gotta put the brakes on a few things before I go mad :wink:

Any upgrade is a bonus. :cool:
6 pots is 4 short of a big brake :wink:

I must admit Tagnut, that you have been very resistant to any modding temptations so far. The self-restraint you have shown must be weakening by now surely :grin:

im looking into some new breaks at the mo and the guy who fitted my milltek, JMR in Littlehampton, supplies Porsche breaks which i think would look rather cool on my ed30 not had a price yet as he is on hol, but imagine they are gonna be pricey! :shocked:

Anywhere between £1.5k and £2k for regular Porker 6 pots :shocked:

ooOOH ! anybody on here got them fitted that's a good price
-
speakin to a good friend of mine who works/worked at awesome he said it would be difficult to recommend the porsche brake kit, it looks better than it really is
-
Cheer's Gaz i knew it was to good to be true
-
i would suggest anyone thinking of fitting bigger brakes should look carefully into it, and only use tried and tested sets like the AP 4 pots etc, i had AP 6 pots on my old car and they were awesome at stopping, BUT they used to grind occasionally which really did my head in (this trait apparently doesn't occur on the AP 4 pots)

The Awesome GTI EDC Porsche upgrade is meant for the 4 X 4 Cayenne and not the Porsche 911 or Boxster. As such I don't recommend it either.
When I asked about the price of them they said the price was £1,350 plus VAT plus fitting, this was immediately followed by Mark saying "Do you want my TAROX 10 pots for £1k fitted?"........The rest is history :grin:

So logically your next post will say TC do you want my 10 pots for £700 :laugh:
-
before splashing out on a big brake kit, I would try uprated discs, pads, fluid, and hoses, much cheaper and probably more than enough :smiley: unless you got Hurdy's money tree of course :laugh:
-
IMHO (yes, I'm old school and well, old :undecided:), I don't see the point of putting another vehicles brakes on a VW. If you want a Porsche, buy one.
Independent VW parts manufacturers/suppliers are another issue. They are acceptable in my socially un-green and anti-carbon-footprint reality world, but NOT drerssing up a VW as a Porker or any other marque :angry:
Rant over, but folks, I really do not get the point.
More beer/red wine please = chill :cool:

Thing is they look just the same as the Boxster brakes so I'm suprised that they aren't. :sad: Shame as the red ones wouldn't look too out of place. Memories of the Audi Rs2 http://www.quattroownersclub.com/events/rs2/rs2.htm ......ahhhh :rolleyes:
