Brake upgrade

[RedRS3Reilly]

Ive recently bought a set of front vw gti clubsport disks, im going to use ferodo ds2500 pads, problem is finding a similar looking set for the rear, anyone give me a few options to look at, thanks.

Nice !! Golf Clubsport S ?

I don't know of any 2 piece drilled rotors for the rear in silver but think there are single piece options from Zimmerman and Tarox that look similar.

Single piece would do, just need a similar drilled pattern

Can't remember if your tuned or not, what power you running?

I'm just contemplating on a BBK that's all.

I don't come on here that much but knew he was super tuned Mike

I'm never going to track the car so I don't feel the need for a big break set up, if I had enough spare cash then yeah why not but I feel that changing over the disks for a decent pair and putting the ds2500 pads on that they will be sufficient and can put the money saved to other parts

 

[RedRS3Reilly]

Calipers won't be too standard after I spray them and sticker them lol

 

[Tom.H]

I've always wondered about uprating brakes, surely the standard ones would be fine for normal use anyway, the car still weighs the same and you're not gonna go over 155mph really unless you're in Germany so you're still gonna be slowing from the same speeds as what they're designed for - as you say, no point if you're not tracking it.

 

[Ja5on]

ferodo are good pads. Bit worth considering Pagid and Carbotech.

Other thing is also the fluid. Completely changed the feel of a brake pedal. Especially if you are going for Motul or Castrole SRF

You're looking for pre facelift Audi RS5 rear brake discs Mark.. (330x22)

Part number 8T0615601 which has unfortunately been superseded to 8T0615601A, (8T0615601A is wave disc design)

I wonder if my man @mjr901 can tell us if 8T0615601 is still available to order. I doubt it though.

If not I've seen a pair on eBay but they aren't cheap lol. Try making him an offer for the pair.

For brackets ping me a PM and I can sort you out.

 

[Aoon_M]

OR you can do 356x22 RS6 rear brake discs in the same design, but I think they will be too big and look odd.

What size are your front discs?

Hey Aoon, fronts are 340mm so backs will look daft at 356mm

Or you could just gift me your ceramics
