Consolidated Macan Brembo upgrade thread (READ FIRST POST)

[Will_]

Has anybody upgraded to these from the non-performance GTI? Do I need PP brackets to mount the calipers or will non-pp work?

I did. The Macan calipers mount straight to the knuckle, no need for brackets.

Awesome! Would you mind sharing which set of brake lines you went with? I just went through my 5th set of pads/rotors in 3 years so I need to upgrade asap.

I ordered custom ones from TechnaFit as described in the first post of this thread. They were $60 shipped.

Did the same, and turnaround was only a couple days. Also got my calipers from Autohaus for $521 shipped.

We've gotten to the Picard stage of the thread. lol

I spy with my little eye an edit to the thread title

No, you want MK6 Golf R rotors. Those are early (2015-2016) Macan rotors, which don't use the same caliper.

This is really easy guys. Stop making it harder.

2018+ 2.0L Macan calipers
MK6 Golf R rotors
2018+ 2.0L Macan brake lines (or custom per page 1)
Pads for any of the cars listed on page 1.

I hear what you're saying, but would Macan rotors fit?






Sorry....

It's almost like people don't read the first post that has everything you need in it to do the swap.

Keep in mind not everyone wants Power stop brake pads.

Yep. That's why I spent hours compiling all the models that us a compatible pad.

It even says that IN THE FIRST POST.

All of the car models is good, but going by that ( I picked the Audi RS3 from your list) I am finding conflicting information and drastically different price ranges from the likes of Stoptech, EBC, and Hawk.

Easiest way for me was to go to: https://www.rallysportdirect.com/scp/brakes/brake-pads/brake-pads
And then search for front brake pads for 2004-2017 Subaru WRX STI. They have lots of options.

If I’m reading part #s right I also believe everything on this list will work:

D1001 is the pad shape.

I went to the manufacturers website for pads, and used the Mustang GT Boss 302 to lookup part #s. I'd figure out the pad compound you want first, get the model from the manufacturer, and then search for that part. I ended up with Fedora DS2500s.

I'd probably jump on those Project Mu pads from a few pages back.

Thanks! I got them on order.

On a side note, has anybody found out what size spacers are needed for Austin wheels? I run Austin's in the winter so I will need them eventually but also want to have them in hand in case my 18x8 O.Z. Ultraleggeras dont clear them.

Can anybody tell me if these work on a golf R? What do I need to buy? Will they work with 1974 VW Beetle wheels?

Thought I'd add some more European cars that should also be compatible.
The Brembo pad part number is; p85123 and according to the Brembo website they are compatible with the following vehicles;
