Brake caliper Brembo or Girling

Me: why does this mofo have hello kitty Brembos?

Wife: did you just say hello kitty... Brembos? FUCK YES

I recently got a set of reman'd Girling calipers off RockAuto -- they fit perfectly.

Just finished porsche junkyard cayeene Brembo 18z from a junk yard. Super cheap score. Fronts came out great but my audi wheels wont fit. The spokes hit the caliper. So i ordered 10mm spacers and longer lugs.

Here's my 03 Jetta TDI. I used 986 generation non-S Porsche Boxster Brembo 4 pot calipers front and rear with OEM Brembo pads and hardware. I went with these over the 17Z/18Z big 6 pots so I wouldn't have to install a different master cylinder as the factory one doesn't move enough fluid to actuate those big brakes effectively.

When I did my mk2 VRT I used B4 passage parts, IIRC.

There’s two lines, as the caliper is split into two sections vertically. The top two pistons (inside and outside piston, directly across from eachother) are hooked up to one brake line, and the other line hooks up to the bottom chamber and bottom two pistons. If one brake line fails, you still have some brake pressure (the pair of pistons on the non broken line). Unfortunately, this means that only a pair of the 4 pistons will work with just one brake line (all abs cars). This would make your pads wear at a severe angle, and drastically impact your breaking performance. I’d definitely say just find some rebuild kits for your current calipers. It’s pretty easy and cheap.

I've recently upgraded to Girlng 60 calipers and feel a bit uneasy about the pad to rotor size difference. The discs on your car are 280mm. The Audi discs that the Girling 60 caliper came off of are 276mm but slightly thicker.

After getting vehicle to run under its own power once again, which is fantastic. I have no brakes. I've since gone gone in and torn down Front brakes completely, I've found right side metal line leaking. Also breaks & calibers had froze from lack of operation all these years. I'm Replacing all components for front brakes, except I'm rebuilding the girling calipers because they're practically $200 each and it cost 1/4 to rebuild the caliper.

Jeez I paid $350 for my brembos to be rebuilt, plus an extra 50 to have the scratches filed out that I made trying to get the pistons out myself :x
