Consolidated Macan Brembo upgrade thread (READ FIRST POST)

[StorableComa]

Do you have the correct replacement bleeder screws.

Speed bleeder also makes a set I believe. I picked up some for my Boxster calipers.

If you don't mind, I'll add the links to the first post for rebuild parts.

Since we're on a roll, how about replacement crossover tube?

Oooofff...makin' me work for it.

no can do on the crossover pipes unfortunately. I can supply the appropriate length tube with the correct bubble flares and tube nuts on it in Nicop (copper nickle)...that won't rust and is super easy to bend using whatever you have on hand...a sharpie, a screwdriver shank, etc...without kinking, but as far as building jigs (left and right lines are different)...that's a whole big project that I'm not in capacity to take on at the moment.

If you want to put together the PN's for the required materials, I'll add to the 1st post here and on VWVortex. I have a duplicate thread over there.

Edit: Scrapping this idea right off the bat.

So. This is still in very early stages. But what would people think of a group buy for these? At like... almost 50% off current retail prices?

I reached out to a factory producing them to order a sample set, which should be possible. They're going to follow up with me on Monday about sending me a sample set first, then what shipping and cost would be for like 10 pairs.

Does anybody still not have these that would be interested in a brand new pair for like $350 shipped?

Be careful, Aftermarket chinese brembo copies tend to be flexy sometimes. Do NOT commit to anything until you've put them on a car and tested them hot to make sure they maintain a good pedal. Some of the casting processes are not the greatest. These are not in any manner the same processes used by Brembo in China or anywhere else most often.

Fair enough. I'll still probably order a sample set to compare to legit ones, but will scrap the thoughts of a group buy. It's not something I want to be responsible for.

in a factory that brembo regularly does QC checks on for good castings. you're not brembo, ordering a dozen calipers and eyeballing them isn't the same. pressure and hardness testing are important and not something I'd trust a rando seller on alibaba to do.

You're right.

 

[GTIfan99]

You're right.

Can you do a puddle light group buy?

 

[Acadia18]

I don't think those can get much cheaper...
