Hi folks, I’ve recently bought a pair of RS3 8V 8pot calipers and TTRS 8S discs that I want to install to my mk7.5 R. My main problems are these: 1. I have a fresh set of PS5s that I want to reuse. Their measurements are 225/40/18. 2. I’m lowered on Bilstein B14s with 12mm spacers on the fronts. Although they don’t cause rubbing, it’s close to flush so I wouldn’t want to push the wheels further out. The current OEM wheels are 7.5j 3. I’ve spoken to Killer Brakes who say that the setup will fit with 18” wheels with a whopping ET38 offset. After some research it looks like this, in combination with 18” 8-8.5j wheels (most aftermarket 18s are this width) will likely push the wheels out further than the fenders and cause considerable poke (by my calculations, haven’t seen any actual pics of this exact setup). Is there a way I can reuse my 225/40/18 tyres with these brakes without an aggressive offset that causes them to poke out? I’ve heard about the fender screw mod but I don’t know if this will help as the wheels might poke out beyond the fender anyway. Thanks in advance -
Hi, I'd be keen for your thoughts. I have a Golf R Mk7.5 estate GPF (sleeper) that currently has a Forge inlet, K&N filter, uprated NGK spark plugs / coils and DIY opened inlets on the grille along with a custom DSG and TSU tune from DMS Automotive. Stock was 309 BHP and 450 Nm of Torque at the flywheel. After tune, I'm now getting 378 BHP and 550 Nm of Torque at the flywheel. Next step in April is the replace anti roll bars and shocks with H&R roll bars and coil overs, SuperPro bushes, Wagner Intercooler, BCS down pipe with sports cat and update the ECU tune. Whilst I'm doing all this and with the expected power and torque increases, I've decided to upgrade the front brakes. I've already got braided lines and Ferodo pads and VBT J hooked disks. Now I want to go for a Big Brake Kit and was looking at the 362mm two piece floating rotors and cannot decide if I go with 4-pot Brembos for Aston Martin or go for 380mm two piece floating rotors with 6pot calipers from AP racing. The car will be running the 18" Cadiz for now with spacers (keeping to the sleeper theme) and will not be tracked. However, it is driven quite hard or very hard most of the time. Any thoughts and logic between 4pot and 6pot would be greatly appreciated. Cheers AD

Hi guys, Curious if anyone has any experience with the new Brembo GT kit and caliper clearance on the OEM 19" Cadiz. I will be using them as winter wheels and wondering if they will fit, or how big a spacer I need. I searched but couldn't find anything - been looking for days. Thanks and here is a pic for reference!

Well aware of the need for spacers with these wheels but concerned that the kits I'm looking at won't even fit within the wheel due to the internal diameter. What kits have people managed to fit in the Cadiz please? Would be great to see pictures too! Thanks in advance!

I'm about to get a Golf R so one of the questions is should I get the Pretoria wheels? I love their looks but if I'll drop in a BBK and I'll end up replacing them with ultraleggeras or something aftermarket it doesn't makes sense to spend the extra money twice. Spacers I will not run. So it all boils down to: - Alcons - VWR - any other respectable bbk bbks fitment behind them without spacers.

Evening all. I'm a little bit stuck on something that I hope someone can help me out on. Here's the thing, I really like the look of this kit: http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_V--2.0T/ES7370/ I really don't like the price though! So I decided to build my own kit. I've got the calipers, I've found the pads, fittings and lines I'll need but I'm not sure I've got a set of discs. I was thinking of using these as they're virtually the same dimensions as the ones in the Stage 5 kit: http://www.mtecbrakes.com/brake-discs/mercedes/m-class-1998/ml63-w164-10-06-amg.html I'm aware that the centre bore is slightly different but the stud pattern should match up and the thickness and offset of the disc should be OK, but can anyone confirm that for me?
