Scirocco r mods

[Rev 555]

What kit is that mate? Unusual size but big!

I bought these of Dean (owner) @ Volkspower after he had done about 3000kms on them. They pull up incredibly!!

Yeah I already have the BBK cos I had them on my GTI Mk6 and now putting them on my scirocco. If they fit on the GTI with 18" rims I'm almost certain that the 19" talladegas will swallow them quite easily. The rotors are 375mm and I know they'll fit also.

It isnt diameter you need to be worried about but spoke clearance...it is all dependent on the wheel.
By the way.... according to the kit part number...it would appear the discs are 355mm which is a more common size..
Good luck with it...Pics when finished would be good.

Yeah you're right they are 355mm not 375mm. Not sure where I got that from. I will definitely put up some pics when completed. 😃

Looking forward to feeling the stopping power of your new brakes !

This is my BBK from AP racing. Similar to the ones used on the Scirocco Cup cars.

The 2 piece rotor weigh only 6.9 kg! (OEM 12kg)



The 6 piston monoblock calipers, custom bracket and pad weighs 3.2kg (OEM 9kg)



Total saving of 10kg of unsprung weight per corner!

Those AP racing brakes totally look the goods.

40kg saving is amazing

I hope you are going with ceramic pads too...no more brake dust...then...

These look awesome!! AP Racing are definitely proper track brakes.
How much did the kit set u back including rotors.

[RoccoR]

First time I got a chance to take some pics of my recently plasti dipped Rims!! A week old now.

[RoccoR]

One more.

Looking good roccor ! They look professionally powder coated. How did you do that ?

[RoccoR]

Mate and me spent a whole Sunday doing it. Jacked up the car and did 2 wheels at a time. Big job, but could have taken us half the time if we had all 4 wheels off at the same time.

Installed carbonio apr cai and got apr stage 1 flash the day I picked up my car. Wow so much power I can't even imagine what stage 2 or 2+ would be like !!!

[RoccoR]

Just on my way to pick up my scirocco after having APR DP, big brake kit and engine mount insert installed. Of course all of this with an APR stage 2 flash. Hmmmmmm it's going to be interesting no doubt.
I'll hold of on the HPFP for the next month or so.
