Mk7 Golf R - Upgraded Calipers

[marshy]

Hi Keithy, thanks for the update, I now have Marshy's old stage 2 Kit and they fit with my Prets OK, but they are replacements, so have a different offset I believe, to the originals.
I have a set of 18" cadiz to fit some winter boots on in the next couple of weeks, but also have some spacers I can fit if needed.

Yeah with oem 18” Cadiz the 5mm spacer is required

There are only 2 direct bolt on callipers (without the use of hangers) that can use the standard disc. Both will require a 10-15mm spacer when OE wheels are being used dependant on model.

• Macan 4 pot callipers as mentioned earlier. These only come in a matt black / grey colour and can be bought direct from Porsche for round £550. They also work with Mk6 R 345mm discs. There's a very long thread here all about them here. https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php?threads/consolidated-macan-brembo-upgrade-thread-read-first-post.371028/
•  Mk3 TTS 4 pot callipers. These are more expensive and are around £600+ from; https://www.e-acca.com . These come in red and black with either the TTS logo on the 2014-2018 models or just  an S on the 2018+ models.

The TTS are in my opinion a little better looking but have a more limited pad options.

 

Both callipers are around 2 inches 'longer'  but weigh significantly less that the OE callipers. The TTS are monbloc ATE callipers and the Macan are 2 piece Brembo callipers.

 

I've just bought a set of 2nd hand TTS callipers and have had them professionally painted blue to match the rears and the OE R callipers I had painted a couple of years back. 

 

Once I get all the parts finalised I hope to do a TTS Callipers how too guide on here.

Did you post a how to guide? 😁 thinking about the porche Macan option 🤪
