Brake caliper Brembo or OEM Audi

Brembo Brake caliper

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.

Pros: effective braking, fluid actuation

Yes basically the same as Macan calipers, just a LOT less expensive. The feel is great, more pad area and better clamping force compared to the OEM single piston, made my tires scream for mercy. The weight savings is a nice perk as well.

Pros: great feel, better clamping

I have 2006 porsche cayenne turbo calipers on my r32 skyline. It's a simple bracket that allows you to use 370z track rotors. The calipers are 6 piston brembo units. They were 100 CAD each at a specialty wreckers.

Pros: inexpensive, 6 piston
Vehicle: Nissan Skyline

I'm running the '14 STI front/rear Brembo calipers with DBA slotted rotors and EBC Yellow pads with steel braided lines. And Motul 5.1 fluid. I can pretty much out brake everyone in to the turns at the track or touge.

Also have Porsche 997 GT3 brake cooling ducts installed (yes they fit). I have zero heat/fading issues. The brakes can do hot laps for a full 20mins track session with no performance lost.

Pros: superior braking, no heat issues
Vehicle: Subaru Impreza WRX STi

I recently did a brembo 18z caliper install and sadly my Audi s3 wheels do not clear the calipers. Plenty of room around the barrel, but the spokes hit. i will be adding a 10mm spacer to make them fit.

Pros: plenty of room around barrel
Cons: spokes hit calipers
Vehicle: Audi S3
