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.

Pros: super cheap score
Cons: wheels wont fit

So if you don't want to spend all that money on the full setup, a Mk7 Golf R caliper is direct bolt on fit to the Arteon. I spent $200 for calipers on EBay, $100 for a rebuild kit, $80 for new OE pads and $40 to reline the discs. Bolted right up.

Pros: direct bolt on fit

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

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

Rating 3.0

I actually replaced drivers rear caliper last year, retaining the original actuator and it was perfectly fine since then until suddenly the parking brake failure this year. Old caliper wasn't moving correctly so I ended up smelling and seeing the smoke driving home one day.

Cons: caliper wasn't moving correctly

A couple weekends ago I first tried to tackle the issue with the brake pedal nearly hitting the floor while driving, I figured it was do to the brakes needing to be bled, so on a weekend I put the car up in the air, proceeded to snap both bleeder screws on the calipers, swap on used ones off my red 16v and bleed the brakes.

Pros: bled the brakes
Cons: pedal felt like crap
