Consolidated Macan Brembo upgrade thread (READ FIRST POST)

[tornado7.5]

GTIfan99, those are the Renault Megane RS MK4 Brembo's. I bought those for my R with 340mm rotors, they fit under my 17x8.5 Apex wheels (winter set), I'm going to mount them when I get home from working in NYC, probably next week. View attachment 301942

What is the pedal feel like? Pedal travel?

Be super cool you could get that bracket extended 17 mm and use the mk8 R rotors. Hmmmmm

Saw this.

Before I saw that Husky jack stand I was thinking....someone trusts their jack way too much!

What am I missing? That looks like a 13" rotor.

ID4 has a 358x30mm rotor

And Brembos?

And Brembos?

Not stock, but someone apparently made a bracket to fit.

I wish we had more details.

For some reason it's harder to get all the air out of the system with these calipers. Bleed the system LF, RF, LR, RR, then do multiple ABS stops. Give it a day or two, then do a 30 psi bleed LF, RF, LR, RR. If you bleed correctly, they are rock solid. If you aren't going to use Castrol Red Rubber grease on the pistons/seals, don't even bother using these calipers. No one wants to hear you complain about a soft pedal when you were given the answer in the first paragraph or the first post in the thread.

Hi I'm new here.
I have recently bought the callipers new.
I have got them painted aswell but not installed yet. Waiting on custom wheels.

One question I have is.
How to I get the piston out to grease?

The only way I can think of is to hook them up and press on the brake pedal but there is a major risk of the piston flying out .

Any help would be great!

Blow a little compressed are into the hole for the bleeder.

Installed mine today, still need to bleed the brakes though. Neuspeeds fit with plenty of clearance.

For those having issues with RB silicone dust boots not seating properly. I just got the BCB silicone boots and they fit nice and snug!

 

[khail19]

Test fit with my winter wheels, a bit tighter but still no spacer needed. About 4-5mm of clearance.

We have been gone since 2020 due to QC issues from Centric/Stoptech, however we now have a supply of high temperature silicon dust boots and rebuild kits for the Macan calipers. We will be the sole importer of Frenkit Performance kits until September (because we helped them start the line up). I would love to help out the VW community again with another option for DIY rebuilding BBK’s.

Are RS3 ducts required? Or will the stock MK7.5 GTI work fine?
