I have 17z 6-pod front calipers paired with Cayenne 4-pod rear calipers and I have a slight soft pedal. However, once the calipers grip onto the rotor, car stops much faster than OEM.
Braking feel is amazing and they are about 5 lbs lighter each side factoring in the bracket and hardware. They also are fixed calipers vs floating, which provide better braking performance and feel.
Hi, I've done a similar upgrade on my Golf MK2 back in 2012 using 280mm front disks from a Golf mk3 GTI and Audi S3 calipers.
I've been through many front brake setups on my car and personally think my current setup is the best balanced. I'm running R32 rotors with 996 turbo calipers up front with phaeton 310mm rotors in the rear. The rear made a nice difference in how the car feels when you are hard on the brakes.
Porsche Boxter calipers (non S). You retain OEM rotors you just need to source carriers (I know someone makes them just can't remember) and lines. Hands down best bang for buck and awesome performance. You save a bunch of weight and move to a fixed 4 piston caliper on each side.
Mounted the 996tt calipers this past weekend. I can say they offer more clearance than the 17z's. Fat fives can be used with no spacer. It's a tight fit but it works. Brake pedal is nice a firm. Much firmer than the 17z calipers.
The brackets I ordered from usrt bolt up to the boxster red rears.... As to whether rear boxster calipers work or not I've done and uses the calculator several times and it is a 15% increase in brake power..
Ok, so i got them fitted yesterday. I used the following: - caliper carripers from Epytec for the cayenne zr18 caliper for mk4 : http://www.epytec.de/modelle/vw/gol...achse/1293/adapter-porsche-bremssattel-audi-tt-a3-vw-golf-4-polo-9n-bora?c=1250 - braided brake hoses from Epytec for porsche calipers: http://www.epytec.de/kategorien/bre...ng-vw-golf-4-r32-audi-a3-s3-a1-porsche-brembo-ttrs-polo-9n-bremsen-umbau?c=1730 - regular ATE brake pads - EBC R32 Brake discs - Porsche Cayenne ZR18 calipers I ended up having to put my 20mm spacers from the back wheels to the front, because the 10mm ones didn't clear the caliper. The epytec hardware is really good quality stuff, comes with all necesary german TUV paperwork to be able get the brakes \"registered\". I drove a total of 10 miles, and as a first impression, the pedal is kind of spongy and goes down pretty low. I will definitely look into upgrading to a 25.4mm M/C. I will let you guys know more after the brakes get seated in properly and do a really good brake bleeding to a better brake fluid.
I just put the audi 2 piston calipers and SS lines on the front of my 2.0. Also put ATE super blue in. Haven't done ther rear conversion or lines yet. What I have noticed is that the pedal goes further before it starts to clamp, but when it does..... its almost like driving a hummer, if any of you have you know what i mean. Any ideas on the reason for that change?
ok so last weekend i did 312mm rotors, porsche boxster calipers and stainless lines. i had g60 brakes previous. i bled them out nooooooo air. drove the car and expected to stand it on it nose. brakes no better than what i had, maybe worse.
