Ok as some of you may know, i recently bought some R32 wheels to show off the new brakes that i bought! I dropped them off to get powder coated today in gloss black, cannot wait to see them!
Yet that is not the bold move
................. I went to dave off ukmkiv's house tonight, the brake god. He knows EVERYTHING there is to know about brakes, he had 5 sets of R8 brakes on his living room floor, with a carbon ceramic disc worth 3k ,
so anyway, i arrived with the brakes i bought recently, porsche 993 rears. I get there optimistic, yet to find these brakes dont fit a golf mk4. even with custom brackets
I was gutted to say the least!
Yet we sat down and had a brew, (very very sound guy by the way), and we discussed my options, he around 20 sets of brakes, yet i wanted yellow brakes, preferably porsche, yet all of the 4pot brakes were red!
Gutted......
Yet i saw an awesomely sized caliper in the corner of the room ' Whats that?' , that my friend is a porsche cayenne turbo set of calipers, I could literally sleep in it, IT WAS MASSIVE!!!!!
How much' £500, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm................ So.........i bought them
I cannot wait to see them on, they will literally fill the wheel, and what better person to help me through this conversion!! I will update pix when they are done, as they are currently getting a full refurb, polished pistons, new seals, and powdercoated yellow with the black porsche badge!
Another expensive mod, but defo needed
