It looks like Centric makes remanufactured calipers but I can't find any pricing or a website that sells them.

I am in the UK. My brakes are being fitted on Saturday so will post some pictures when they are fitted. The rear dust shield is a pain to fit on because will need to remove the main hub and thus replace bearings ect.. Does anyone know if the rear dust shields are exactly the same size? used on the the non-performance pack and performance pack or are the part numbers different? If I can get away without replacing the rear I would! would definitely save loads on labour then?They didn’t come up in my search. Out of stock for two of the part numbers I looked up on their site. Maybe special order only. I think OP is in the UK so not sure if Rock Auto would ship to him.

This is exactly why i stopped worry about upgrading the rears, tbh.The TCR race cars use non PP rears.
Upgrade the fronts with Macan calipers and mk6 R rotors.
Wouldn’t it be adding quite a bit of unsprung weight to do big VW calipers in the rear for little braking gains? Last I read, Audis are about 15 lbs lighter per wheel over PP. Porsche maybe even lighter.

Quick update! All the work has been done! Back did not need the dust shields to be changed as the part number from performance pack and non-performance pack was the same and confirmed was the same size when changing over!It might be the same...when was your car built & what spec??
I really didn't want the hassle of compatibility ect. I think this setup should be perfect for street use! Also I wouldn't know where to get hold of macan calipers!I can't understand why you went with PP over Macan. View attachment 166521
Be interested to hear more about your experience with these. I'm running ST40's as well and if I do touch the rears, it will be this ECS kit.I just put on the big rear ECS rotors, they come with a bracket that moves existing caliper outwards. They look great and match my ST40 on the front. Quite frankly the rears dont do much stopping anyway
