R32 rotors!!!!!

[Manaz]

but you try buying the quantaty will show 2 and the price 7hundred something

Sure - if you try to order four rotors (two pairs).

You want to select "1" as the quantity, as they are sold as pairs.

1 pair = two rotors.
2 pairs = four rotors.

caliper

Yes - calipers, carriers and pads all need upgrading to use the R32 rotors. Bora V6 4Motion front rotors are 312mm, I suspect the V5 and 4-cylinder Boras have even smaller front rotors (288mm would be my guess), the R32 rotors are 334mm diameter (and thicker too - 32mm thick vs 25mm for the Bora V6 4Motion).

As I just edited into my post - you could go for better pads and fluid for an often surprisingly effective "upgrade"

For pads, there's plenty of options. Ferodo DS2000/TS2000/Ferodo Performance are all the same as far as I'm aware, and should be decent. GSLRallySport have some QFM pads that they're offering good prices on that you could consider too.

For fluid, get Super DOT4 or DOT5.1 - they're the same thing. Don't go for DOT5 (it's not compatible with most brake systems).

When it comes time to replace your rotors, DBA do some decent rotors - their slotted street series to suit a Bora V6 4Motion are about $180 a pair for the fronts, rears are about $160 a pair - for V5/4-cylinder models you'd probably pay a little less. For around $260 a pair IIRC, you can get slotted 4000 series rotors from DBA - they're a better overall design than the standard street ones, and would probably handle a bit of light track work a little better if that's your thing.

The next step then would probably be braided lines - if you go that way, just make sure they're ADR compliant (and marked as such - if they're not marked, they're not compliant, despite what some places will try to tell you).

is this still available? my r needs new rotors asap!

Yes follow the link in my original post

Okay I have been speaking with Jon at ECS regarding getting all four rotors as a package with free shipping and they have come up with the following deal.

We have had several requests for a front / rear combo. The pricing on the OEM rears is still high, so we have a package that includes the OEM Front Rotors with Zimmerman rears also including free shipping.

I have ordered a set and at todays exchange rate it came to
489.95 USD = 581.040 AUD

That is around $30.00 more than VW Australia is charging for ONE front rotor and we are getting all FOUR!!!!

Get your orders in people.....

Ordered a set of fronts plus an R32 badge for my OEM grill.

That's really good service!

[sir_camel]

I'm expecting mine today or tomorrow.

[graeme86]

That's really good service!

Not really, it took longer to ship the package from Mascot airport, than it did from ECS to Australia.

[quozl]

Yea good service till it reached our shores, then UPS here decided to leave it sitting in Mascot for the weekend.

I got mine from HEL Performance in Qld. They charged $60 per front line, which is pretty cheap. I supplied them with a line which they could copy - turns out I supplied them with a standard Bora line, so I'm trying to rustle up a proper R32 front line (and rear line) that I can ship to them to copy.
