TTRS Brembo Upgrade Info

Important update:
Just got an email from VBT saying that all aluminum brake adapter kits sold from July 2020 and onward are being recalled due to a "very small number of failures." They're replacing any aluminum alloy brackets with steel. Anyone who ordered a set to fit TTRS brembos should be aware.

No, I just gave them my order number. They have to assume the old ones are faulty, there's no reason to want them back.Don't they also say you gotta send back the old pair? I just put my ttrs on in may
Finally got around to putting these on, important to note that the FCP1334 ferodo pads don't fit (too thick). Bought a set of FCP3067H from MAP and they drop right in. The 8V dust shields fit pretty well, just have to bend them back a bit where they contact the caliper. On my Mk7.5 R I had to bend back the brake sensor bracket on the passenger side as well. All very minor modifications. Going to cut back the brake booster and hydraulic brake booster adaptations back a notch.

That is interesting that the 1334's didn't fit. I don't recall if you're using a 32mm or 34mm thick rotor. I had the same issues but I was using the 34mm rotor.
I'm using the 370x32mm 8J spec. I was asking Girodisc about pads and they said they only really sell/recommend the 14-15mm thick pads (e.g. 3067).

I've done 2 tracks with the TTRS Calipers and DS2500s. At Autobahn South they're great. At Road America I probably needed a different compound. Got a little bit of a long pedal during my second session. I run RBF660 and I didn't bleed between days so YMMV but those we my observations.
I'm finding at the small michigan tracks they're passable. I'm sure it's a different story at the high speed southern tracks. Not looking forward to the cost of DS1.11
@MrFabulous would you mind sharing the p/n on the brembo dust boots you used?

I didn't end up replacing the pistons, was going to trash the originals and upgrade later, but looking at the pictures I just took of my calipers the part number is 20.4872.48 44mm seal. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-brembo-...tJBwvbem_hse1wylH3ExrKS_bChpWpzgaAt9tEALw_wcB

Tested fitting to see if they clear the 18” konig countergrams (et35) without spacers and while it does fit even with the wheels weights right in the path of the caliper, the face is soo close to the spoke that I already nicked the caliper paint off
… not even from putting it on either, it was the 1-2mm of movement the wheel makes while you tighten the lugs down rhat caused it
New wheels on the way should have much more comfortable clearance though.

Yeah, these are a newer model too with their “best brake clearance” currently - so I’m sure most of the other ones gonna hit real bad without a spacer!
