Audi Rs3 Tt Rs brake kit

[bn-01-wso]

try Vw Phaeton v10 or w12. One of the biggest calipers you can find. I think they are the same as RS6 like the picture Bartolomeus posted before. Hope i'm not wrong

The thread is about ttrs / rs3 brake kit. I know all other kits that can be installed on this cars. Until now I did not find a forum member that installed this.

The reason for the recall was due to TTRS customers complaining about "squeeking" and others noises. A new set of pads and rotors (sometimes just pads) solved the issue but Audi issued a TSB to replace the entire assembly.
Basically the market is flooded with VER01 Calipers & Discs that magically never found there way back to Audi.

Astin Martin uses the same foot print as the TTRS caliper . It is a Brembo 4 pot unit so look for guys who have installed an Aston Martin or similar radial mount calipers onto there S2/80.

Get proper brakes not pussy brakes

so 8 pots in the front and single in the rear? Would love to see how that handles going around a corner and tapping on the brakes....

8 pot in the front and maybe 4 pot on the rear. But if using rs4 b7 rear calipers ,I think must give up at the handbrake.

if you are using 4 pots in the rear then you need to get a Ferrari/Lambo/R8/Aston Martin / etc handbrake caliper which is the reason you don't see alot of guys running independant rear calipers.
My set up will be:
- Brembo GT 6-Pot in the front
- TTRS / Aston Martin 4 Pot rear calipers (as they are closest to Brembo 4-POT GT's)
- Ferrari F430 Handbrake caliper
Disc size will be dependent on how I can get them to clear under the BBS E50's.

This is for an S2 so if I could make the .pdf file available once I am done so you can get a multi caliper carrier to work on your vehicle if you wish.

You would sooner find more advantage from running a larger disc and spacing out the OEM calipers to accept the larger disc then mis-sizing your front and rear calipers.
When I see a vehicle running OEM calipers in the rear and big *** calipers in the front I almost always assume that the individual is a poser and has 0 concept of braking technology.

John B and Sonic on the forum are running 4 pot rears & brembo spot calipers. Nice set-up if you have a wallet for it. IMHO nothing at all wrong with a large single pot rear caliper, for road and track - it works very well on a 2 ton RS6 for example. There is not really a cost effective large set-up for the rear of the coupe, which is why few people run anything bigger than 280mm - with a single pot rear caliper either there very expensive rotors or you have problems with the handbrake cable. For pure track you don't need a handbrake caliper anyway so nothing to worry about there
Adjsuting the bias is essential when you chnage the front and/or rear setup, as Rusty has priven with his 314 solid rear set-up capable of locking the rear wheels before the front with the OEM ABY bias valve.
Biggest compromise on our 1970s technology McStruts is unsprung mass which makes a huge difference to the ride and grip. If you got too crazy on brake porn ultimately you end up sacrificing driveeability on the road and grip on the track with too much iron bouncing about down there.

EDIT: In conclusion then, ceramic is the way forward

Tell that to the Volkswagen MK4/MK5/MK6 guys running Cayenne 18Z calipers in the front!

[Error404]

They do look good though

Rs 8 pot calipers are very heavy. I don't know what is the weight difference between these and porsche 18z ones.
Who has or had 8 pot calipers said that this is the ultimate brake setup before ceramic brakes.

Phaeton v10 tdi rear calipers are the same with rs4 rs5 r8 ones?

[Error404]

same size as RS4 & RS5 yes, different handbrake arrangement
R8 uses a spot caliper for the handbrake

[snp10]

So, what is the best brake setup in your opinion ?

[bartolomeus]

IMHO...

[snp10]

The best and the cheapest one ))

[Error404]

I don't think there is a "best" setup, you always compromise on something. Some people prefer cheap, some people want ultimate stopping power etc
Personally I would want a light setup to keep ride quality and sharp handling, so for me cost no object would be 2 piece rotors front and rear, GT2 6 pot up, good single pot rear
Unfortunately cost is an object
