The brake madness continues. My latest and last upgrade. Keep it in the family... ;)

Hi Rocco
No one seems to really understand our addiction and I'm starting to thing that we're soul mates.

I haven't really drove my car with these brakes. It have been in the garage in the air and just gotten bigger and bigger brakes. from 944 turbo S to RS6 C5 to 380mm MTM with Audi Ceramic calipers back to Phaeton 365mm and now 390mm RS6 c6.

some people uses +450hp true???
and really its not worth it too true?? because normally we are not Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso every days with track days 
and on traffic roads... there are not much diferent between road a car traveling with +300hp pr +600hp .... but the people always wants more true??
so then, this is more or less the same,but talking about brakes

Fair play to you both but that is serious overkill on the braking front!
still if I ever have 600 bhp il be sure to look at the parts you've used

so we have very similar car specs,talking about turbo,engine,19"s,front and rear brakes,front bumpers,fog lights .....Hi Rocco
Thanks man!
at the moment the engine is built to RS2-specs with a 350 hp chip. So nothing fancy really. I would like to build for 500-600 but nothing is decided about that.
My pccb brakes were told to be flawless and new but as seen on the pictures they were heavily damaged. Sure, the discs were brand new and never fitted on a car but the damage to them were so severe that it would have been dangerous to fit them on the car.
I had to drag the guy who sold them to court to get my money back and even though I won I lost 700 EUR on costs for lawyer etc... Sad story.
have you problems with our oem brake pumps using them with our BIG brake combos?? in my car seems to brake perfectly using very few brake pedal

i like the pics of your car very much¡'¡
what turbo and engine specs are you using??
about the PCCB discs,they came from some Audi, i will ask the seller.
could be Audi R8?? and the 350x34 PCCB discs comes from the same audi,but from the rears¡¡
with a 4 pot calipers. but i will use mine with the porsche Reds GT3 6 pot calipers¡¡ and i will use them as front brakes of course.with S8 MK2 Wheels .
and i will use the 19"s with 400x38 discs in the other car,with the Audi Ceramic calipers
we will see how it works....
did you bought your PCCB brakes a little damaged true?? cant be used normally? or is it dangerous??
PD: i love the porsche turbo wheels how looks in our cars

you're killing me rocco! Then i have to get the 420mm ceramics from the c6 rs6.
heheh. No, seriously... This will be my last upgrade for a few years.*
What are those discs from? 400mm...? the ceramics I had and that audi use is 380mm (...and 420 on the new RS6).*

Generic reply: thanks for the kind words guys!
and yes, it is insane and more the overkill. For me it's about the looks and it is an addiction.
I hope this was the last upgrade because I don't want 20 inch wheels on the car.

Hey Rocco
Calipers are RS6 C6 5.0 v10.
The ceramics will go up for sale around summertime when I'm done with fitting the v10s.
The discs weigh A LOT! Around 15kg a pcs. Yeah, that's insane but it looks good. =)
What's the process of getting it homologated? Don't think that's possible in Sweden. =/
The wheels are indeed 19". No way to get 390mm inside of 18". I had to upgrade to 19" when I bought the 380mm MTM discs.
Thanks for the kind words!

, wich calipers are you using?? "RS" from??
or are they the Audi Ceramic calipers as you had??
do you know the weight of these steel discs??
i have mine brakes homologated¡¡¡¡ i´ve paid 450€ for the homologation of my 235/35/19´s ,Brembos brakes front and rear (without specifitation if they are 300x32 or 400x38
) + my sparco milano seats so now i can upgrade or downgrade everything with the brakes without TUV or Police problems.
are these rims replica or porsche originals?? 19"s true??
very nice work,it looks AWESOME¡¡ now put your car with a GT30 and rule the road

Hehe. There was a link in my original post to irry.com where there are looked of pics, like the firs picture here:
A few more
And in the spec of the car the wheels are listed as:
RH Alurad AH Turbo 19x8.5" (Porsche Turbo-replica) with Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 225/35ZR19.
At the rear I'm working on getting the RS4 b7s mounted.
I got the front one apeshit cheap. around 900 EUR for the calipers with all replaceable parts included ont
he side (pads, pistons, seals etc). The discs costed me 740 EUR from the great guys at www.bhv-Handel.de
What size rims are you running? looks quite a bit of clearance if they are 18's but iirc you need at least 19's for this from reading rocco's threads.
You got any decent pictures of your car with those rims on
And out of interest how much would this setup roughly set someone back and what would you match it with at the rear?Leave a comment:

+1 for the weight saving... this is a lot saving ,wining theorically confortability,acceleration,brake performance...
but anyway after all,i never saw my current brakes with fadding or something similar...and i was stoping the car in trackdays with 240km/h to 60km/h many times...and 0 problems.
but i am complete sure that surelly with 350x34 and 4 pot calipers will be enough
i bought the PCCB discs because they were a bargain... and if someday have a problem with them i will reinstall my current brakes or something smaller why not

TBH Carbon brakes are a bit overkill on a road car, they don't even come into a good working temperature unless worked hard.
That said they won't be crap but I would assume a lot of people use them for the weight saving benefit as well as looks.Leave a comment:
