Consolidated Macan Brembo upgrade thread (READ FIRST POST)

[scrapin240]

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.

You bought a hat? Ferodo

And yeah people, with all the information on the first page, it'll get you started and ready to order parts. I used the STI/Evo as my base for pad selections. I went StopTech Sport all around.

I've seen iphones used as brake pads, but not Fedoras. I'm waiting for the video. lol

Dropped off the calipers to be powder coated this morning, getting closer.

What kind of price were you quoted? I am hearing $300 in my neck of the woods.

$120 from a couple of shops around here. I had to completely disassemble the calipers but that was rather easy to be honest.

Got my lines from Techna Fit a few days ago. $60 shipped, really fast, easy process. I'll probably buy the calipers from Sunset Porsche.

For pads it's best to use the STi/EVO fitment as there are TONS of pad choices available for those cars. Just pick the ones you want and buy them.

Just in case you didn't read the first post of the thread, buy Mk6 R rotors too, lol!

Powder coating has got to be better than G3. Last set of calipers I did on my bike are chipping badly despite very detailed prep according to their recommendations.
What are you using for masking?

That's all them, only thing they got was calipers, no bleeders or lines are attached. They know to mask the threads and the piston ports as they do a lot of car parts.

Would the Macans fit with my wheels? Don't have additional measurements yet.

PP calipers currently installed. That's my medium sized index finger in there.

On the 1st page there is a template you can print to check wheel fitment.

Is the template a view looking down on the caliper/carrier?
