Well this build sure escalated quickly didn’t it
I can't say it's not on my mind, but it's (another) costly thing
and because I have an awful mind for this type of thing all I can think of is how much money it's gonna cost to do brakes, front sway bar, get race tires and pads for the AX car, refinish our basement, the list goes on and on
In a legendary rare Nine move, I'll put performance over aesthetic just this one time. Don't get used to it thoughIf you already have PP brakes, IMO the Macans are a (slight) downgrade. The pads are thin AF. Everyone I know who actually tracks their cars hard burn through pads in 1-2 days. PP pads start out at 19mm thick, Macans are like 15.5mm or something. They're worthless on track after 2mm is worn - the friction material is thinner than the backing plates at that point.
Everyone overlooks pad thickness when that is one of the primary things that keeps you from cooking your fluid.
/Unpopular opinion.
If you have non-PP brakes then disregard. In that case though on the street just putting good pads on should still be sufficient. Ferodo 2500s are about the highest temp rated pad that won't squeel like the dickens that I'm aware of. They're ridiculously good for a street pad.
two questions: what’s a good price, and why those over macans?FB marketplace.....TTRS brake setup...../end search
TTRS calipers are (IIRC) 8-pot and require 370mm rotors.....beefy and look awesome. I picked them up because I saw a full set with rotors for sale only slightly more than had I bought macans brand new. For your reading pleasure:two questions: what’s a good price, and why those over macans?
If you're keeping PP brakes but want a darker color why not swap to R calipers and then you'll have your stock PP calipers to sell?Probably black or some darker color.
I thought about this/it was on my radar. But tbh I think the opportunity to do something custom/cool is a little too tempting. Even though I'll likely do black with some degree of flakeIf you're keeping PP brakes but want a darker color why not swap to R calipers and then you'll have your stock PP calipers to sell?
Take my idea and call Willwood. They make a kit a for the MK7 platform. I would toss you a link but that takes the fun out of it lol.I thought about this/it was on my radar.
