the winner here is the guy who gets working Porsche brakes for half price.

@Acadia18 just put them to the test when you got em on and let us know.

The winner is the guy whose calipers don't fail.

It's looking like Sunday. Unless my stainless lines from Temu get delivered early. They're currently set to be delivered Saturday.

 

[MonkeyMD]

Soooo. Do they have any ST40 rings for cheap?

 

[sterkrazzy]

Dang, Acadia lost some scene points? Does he have any left anymore?

Sold them all to ArcaneDivination in order to afford new full price brake lines for the budget Brembos.

Now look at what single piston, sliding, cast iron PP calipers cost.

That's not so true, single piston calipers are made by trw and they are really cheap if bought it directly.

Oem trw caliper 5G0615123A price $425

If you wanna trust some from an uncertified factory (although they do claim OE quality), I can point you where to get some for $20

I think your caliper are oe quality. Ive seen them on autodoc. They have the same casting where the logo is. I think they are branded by a.b.s.

So more than half the cost of a brembo caliper for trw? I guess that's a good deal???

 

[El_bigote_AJ]

Kinda. Because I wanted one with the big single center tach. Technically it worked fine, but caused errors in unrelated systems (front assist, for some reason). Best thing the seller could say was because it wasn't made for NAR cars

Didn't end up keeping it.

Had one before that in my GTI that worked

That’s not really a knock off comparison though… it took a different solution route than oem on those dashes

 

[riceburner]

So half the time, they work 100% of the time?

I'm sold.

It makes sense if you dont think about it

 

[riceburner]

The IATF 16949 standard is structured around eight key Quality Management Principles:

1. Customer focus
2. Leadership
3. Involvement of people
4. Process approach
5. System approach to management
6. Continual improvement
7. Fact-based decision making
8. Mutually beneficial supplier relationships

It's not an engineering standard, spec, nor does it require that your caliper be produced with the proper aluminum. It's the movie Office Space in a factory.

Can you point to any specific requirement in this certification that would prevent them from selling you a poor knockoff caliper? Serious question.

i like it.

 

[riceburner]

No, you pointed to some certification, that has zero to do with whether or not the calipers are any good, as being a good reason to buy shady knockoffs.

Show me anything that shows IATF has anything to do with engineering specs.

You're zrick in this scenario. You just want your nonsense to be true so badly, you'll ignore all reality.

arcadie reminds me of a younger riceburner getting a b8 s4 for 10k.

I'm still curious about the engines.

1. Used engines.
2. New VW OEM engines
3. New knockoff engine.

Someone explain this to me.
