Rating 5.0

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
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I was initially looking at these but I wasn't able to find many options for brake pads. A little bit of digging and I found that isweep makes their full range of pads. But the TTS calipers seem to be the best bang for the buck.

Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: few brake pad options
Vehicle: Audi TTS

OEM Audi Brake caliper

There is a huge difference in unsprung weight going to the TTS caliper - might want to highlight that as a selling point as well as noting that this set up is not only OEM+ but around half the price of say Neuspeed, Alcon, AP Racing, APR etc upgrades.

Pros: huge difference in weight, half the price
Vehicle: Audi TTS

OEM Porsche Brake caliper

Enter the 17z Porsche upgrade. I believe this is the cheapest route you can go for a good BBK of this size aside from the even bigger 18z Brembo's also availible. This is a very easy direct swap with two modification parts You'll need the calipers and pads from an 04-10 Porsche Cayenne The 334mm rotors and front SS lines for the mk4 r32 The adapter plate from Ecstuning made by creationsmotorsports It's just 10 bolts for the install, that's it. Jack up the car talk off the wheel Disconnect the brake wear sensor Without taking the brakes apart, clamp the brake hose, disconnect from the caliper, remove the two caliper carrier bolts and yank the caliper, pads an all off, put to the side an do man shout. Unscrew the rotor screw an beat it with a hammer like it owes u money, unless you plan on keeping it. Cut the brake sensor from the brake pad and connect the two together Install new rotor The slots don't matter which way but the vanes do. Make sure they flow like shark fins to the front of the car Now if you didn't notice when you go to install the adapters your caliper carrier bolts are now too long and when you go to tighten the adapters you might not notice but you will screw into your new rotors either pushing the rotor off snapping the rotor screw or stripping the spindle tread whichever comes 1st. Get new bolts and grind or cut then about in half USE THREAD LOCK!!! Install adapters and calipers Unless you have an r32, the brake lines will not match back up, so until you come up with a solution zip ties will be your friend You can easily bend but I didn't have enough time on my lunch break. Connect an bleed the system an that's it's your done. So the verdict. If you don't bleed the system enough, the 1st pedal push will feel like your stepping in poo. You have to bleed A LOT to get your pedal back bleeding through the abs using VAG Do you have to change your M/C no. If you do not change your M/C you will be ok. If you want to go that extra extra route for increased pedal feel the Audi 200 M/C is supposed to be used. I will be doing that as well because i'm extra with stuff. I already purchased it just have yet to install it The vw M/C is black and aside the 2 extra ports and the slant looks like it's a go. That's for when the weather gets better. I hope this was helpful.

Pros: easy direct swap, good BBK
Cons: requires modification parts, bleeding issues

It takes a larger master cylinder to push more fluid to four pistons. The surface area of all 4 pistons pushing on the disc is slightly larger than OE. A larger (thicker) rotor is being used and I'm not sure how to calculate that into the equation or if that's even important. Regardless if you have the oe mater cylinder using Porsche 4 pot calipers you will have to get a larger master cylinder.

Pros: larger surface area
Cons: larger master cylinder needed

The 944 caliper is 26x30 mm apposed to the g60. the reason I am posting this is because I purchased a set of 944 calipers on a whim, and found out they are not much more of an upgrade from g54 calipers.

Cons: not much upgrade
