Brake caliper Girling or OEM Porsche

Ok, so i got them fitted yesterday. I used the following: - caliper carripers from Epytec for the cayenne zr18 caliper for mk4 : http://www.epytec.de/modelle/vw/gol...achse/1293/adapter-porsche-bremssattel-audi-tt-a3-vw-golf-4-polo-9n-bora?c=1250 - braided brake hoses from Epytec for porsche calipers: http://www.epytec.de/kategorien/bre...ng-vw-golf-4-r32-audi-a3-s3-a1-porsche-brembo-ttrs-polo-9n-bremsen-umbau?c=1730 - regular ATE brake pads - EBC R32 Brake discs - Porsche Cayenne ZR18 calipers I ended up having to put my 20mm spacers from the back wheels to the front, because the 10mm ones didn't clear the caliper. The epytec hardware is really good quality stuff, comes with all necesary german TUV paperwork to be able get the brakes \"registered\". I drove a total of 10 miles, and as a first impression, the pedal is kind of spongy and goes down pretty low. I will definitely look into upgrading to a 25.4mm M/C. I will let you guys know more after the brakes get seated in properly and do a really good brake bleeding to a better brake fluid.

The facts are in ... same caliper as the Bimmer 750 il but the brackets are different Below, that twin piston R32/TT/750 il caliper on the BMW 750 il bracket. The BMW and VAG cars DO NOT share the same bracket. 34111163319 Bimmer front, left Right is 1J0615126 & 5B TT 3.2-R32 front with twin 44mm pistons for 334x32 rotors (1ZT set up) Left is brackets for DE Calipers with the single 54mm piston 288x25 mm (1LC set up). More caliper = more rotor = more weight mdt said: This is the difference between the [SUB](late)[/SUB] R32 334mm brakes and the 288mm [SUB](early R32)[/SUB] brakes: This is the [SUB]early DE[/SUB] 288mm set up (# 1K0615124J/23J) VR6 caliper next to the [SUB](late)[/SUB] R32 version: Click to expand... Thumbing through all this saw that you can get a SET of red powder coated Mk IV calipers and carriers for $91.29 INCLUDING the core charge. You'll still need your Mk II or Mk III brake brackets since Mk IV brackets only work on the Mk IV chassis. It's a damn good buy. Can't tell if they have the 38 or the 41mm piston though. Regardless, Audi TT 3.2Q rear brakes ready to bolt on, with the clips and warranty. Sell the p/c brackets to the Mk IV guys and recoup your costs. http://www.rockauto.com/dbphp/x,car...php/x,carcode,1431901,parttype,1704,d,2004_AUDI_TT_QUATTRO_3.2L_V6_Caliper.html Except for the Mk IV rear (aluminum) brakes both of the above options (including girling 60) are heavier than the stock Girling 54's. Those 944 turbo rear brakes getting run as fronts on the Corrado keep coming up because they're alloy, 4 piston and weigh 7.1lb.

Girling 60 on the Mk III 4x100 is the best bolt on bang for the buck. Make sure you get the girling 60 brackets/carriers too.

I have a set of NOS Girling 60 from Autotech garage sale on the g60 right now. Have been running them for over 7 years. Better pedal feel over the G54's and no changes need to be made to the existing Corrado (g60 or VR) mc.

I'd recommend sticking with the 10.1" brakes, they are more than enough especially with good pads. I'm running the dual piston Girling 60s on my Mk1, and they really need a bigger MC too if you haven't upgraded to the later 22mm. I have rear discs as well, and I ended up using the Audi 25.4mm MC because my brakes didn't engage until about 2/3 travel. Also the Girling 60s weigh a lot more, and you do feel that unsprung weight going over rough patches in a Mk1. Lastly, it's a pain to find wheels under 16" that fit with the calipers. I had to grind the calipers and run spacers.

Fresh rebuilt these where striped completely down glass beaded and then painted they need some touch up from being moved arpund but still look good haven't seen any brake fluid since the rebuild.

I'd go with Porsche calipers on stock rotors, which is what I run. MUCH improved pedal feel and modulation, ability to swap pads without taking the caliper off, and more pad options.

I had them on my B3, those things are a boat anchor each... For the amount of stopping power they add, they also add a ton of unsprung weight.

The Girling60s weigh an absolute ton, but yield no performance advantage over a G60 setup. IMHO better street config is: - 22mm master cyl. Note that the later cabby MC is not 22mm. However the brake booster can accept one. - Corrado G60-compatible quality 11\" discs - Corrado G60 calipers and carriers - Good pads. I run Hawk HPS myself but there are several good choices - An appropriate set of adapters Personally I have rear discs and adjustable brake bias. I found it necessary to tune the balance after installing bigger, bitey-er brakes, and a heavier engine.

The girling 60's I own are to large and I've given up on wanting to use them. They are stupid heavy and its not worth trying to find another set of wheels just to run brakes that do more harm then good.
