Brake caliper POWER STOP or OEM Audi
Reviews
I installed the full power stop kit, drilled and slotted with the extreme pads and red powder coated calipers. All work very well and still look good after 13k miles or so.
Pros: work very well, look good
Mileage: 13000 km
I was initially looking at these but I wasn't able to find many options for brake pads. A little bit of digging and I found that isweep makes their full range of pads. But the TTS calipers seem to be the best bang for the buck.
Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: few brake pad options
Vehicle:
Audi TTS
There is a huge difference in unsprung weight going to the TTS caliper - might want to highlight that as a selling point as well as noting that this set up is not only OEM+ but around half the price of say Neuspeed, Alcon, AP Racing, APR etc upgrades.
Pros: huge difference in weight, half the price
Vehicle:
Audi TTS
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.
Pros: similar upgrade, easy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
i have the audi twin piston caliper/G60 rotor setup in the front of my 16vT GLI. i think theyre great, i can lock up the brakes at 50mph if i want so braking power is def not an issue.
Pros: great braking power
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I'm running the audi calipers and G60 11" rotors and drums in the rear. love the brakes on my car
Pros: love the brakes
Cons: audi calipers boat anchors
I used some dual piston calipers from the Audi, and the fit under my 15's with like a quarter inch clearance. These are more braking power than is needed. The pads are much larger than the stock pads, and if you really step into the pedal they will lock the tires up at any speed!
Pros: more braking power
Cons: lock the tires up
Vehicle:
Audi
Two calipers failed in the first year. I tried to repair it when I finally took apart the seals were junk and they had never been put in properly at manufacturer. The pistons had rust on them! Understanding manufacturing can go bad. Now today I heard a grinding and pulled my wheels off my Jeep only to find a third caliper had frozen and completely ripped through the brake pad and damaged the rotor. Not to mention all the paint that was so pretty on these things has peeled off.
Cons: caliper failure, rust, paint peeled
Mileage: 5000 km
My power stop calipers rotted out internally after a year. Had new brake fluid and everything yet they broke
Cons: calipers rotted out internally
The biggest problem with the Girling 60s is the weight, and the fact that the calipers are designed for 10 5/8" rotors, so they aren't a perfect fit with Corrado G60 11.0" brake rotors that they are used with.
Cons: weight, not perfect fit
