Arteon Brake upgrade

[nermal]

Ur just about ready for the track then.. u going?

Well... the only track I've ever been on is a go-kart track, so would need a lot of training/practice first.

I'd also like to do some more to the car first. Maybe after stage 3 and if I've fitted the oil catch-can (prevent me from destroying the ea888.3 engine) and probably some other essentials.

oil catch can is not gonna prevent you from destroying anything my friend thats a myth.. its actually 1 of the least useful mods u can do on the ea888 and does little to nothing for the money and time spent(well proven by now)

better to invest in a extra oil cooler as the temps can get ridiculously hot and blow ur engine. and quickly (maybe even dsg oil cooler to go with that ) and an uprated oil pan with baffle as both those OEM parts can actually blow ur engine up with temps and oil starvation at the wrong time... (but im sure HARDING PERFORMANCE already told u that?? )

might wanna get some training or practice in first in your sub stage 3 car with stage 3 brake kit... before you go full stage 3 for another what.. 25k and put it thru a wall with ur insurance not valid.

@amunra - it appears you have corrected yourself and yes, to confirm the Golf R / Superb 206TSI 4x4 / Passat 206TSI R-Line / AUDI S3 / Tiguan 162TSI all run identical (Front) 340x30mm vented rotors with the same sized single piston calipers, however the Golf R / AUDI S3 have a cover plate on the caliper, purely a decorative plate.

So, I'm about to list the old brakes (along with some other spare parts I have kicking around)... Would it be safe to advertise these as Arteon brakes that are Golf R "spec"? Anyone have any idea what these things are worth? I'm useless at selling car parts... or cars in general! =D

maybe someone on here with a lower spec golf or GTI might pick them up.

check online how much theyre going for if theres any floating around on ebay or wherever

If you listed them with the range of VW MQB cars they match I wager you'd get a bit of interest with the time it takes to receive parts these days.

At a glance there appears to be a bit of life left on the pads, so maybe anywhere from $450-650 depending how quickly you want them gone and how quickly someone needs a repair or upgrade. A good price might also save you the hassle of packaging and shipping them.

Recently some R36 calipers and rotors (no pads) went for $585

Some proper R front calipers sold for $469

There are plenty of no-name caliper and rotor sets for sale, but the OEM gear seems to sell quite well.

Thanks, appreciate it =) I split the difference and put them up for $550 (ono): MQB 340mm Front Brake Set

I've recommended that the pads be replaced though - these were poor-fitting aftermarket pads that rattled and squealed (but still safe, inspected by VW)... the level sensor wire is also cut.

A big benefit of this is that they're engineered to fit many VAG-group vehicles without any modifications, and honestly, 99% of people would never recognise that they're not stock. Makes rego inspections much easier, and can avoid the need to have engineering work done.

In case anyone's interested, @tigger73 is selling a 380mm, 6 pot Alcon BBK for only $2K (was $4,800)

Do installers recommended getting an upgraded master cylinder when doing a BBK conversion? Or is stock up to the job?

I'm just running stock and they didn't recommend upgrading it.

Hi All - I'm due for new front pads and disks

whats everyone's opinion for a stock caliper setup?

Wouldn't mind a larger disk

I am pretty content with the stock calipers for street use.

DBA pads and rotors are fairly easy to source often on special. The popular VW upgrade is the XP Performance pads (Orange) with the T3 4000 slotted rotors. They give a really nice bite over stock.

Sparesbox have their 20% off brakes sale fairly regularly. I picked up front and rear rotors and pads for around $1000.

It won't be a 'dramatic' difference in stopping distance, but very noticeable for feel and endurance.

I've also been told that the "Clubsport S" rotors are a good OEM+ option

I was given part# 5Q0615301C when originally looking for a interim fix to my rattling brake issue.

Whats cost difference between the clubsport and dba option ?

Interested to see Which will provide better performance also 🤔

I was quoted around $750 for the front rotors a while ago. I think the Clubsport S option came to ~$1,500 total for rotors, pads, bolts and labour.

I ended up getting the Stage 3 RacingLine 380mm BBK (ex-demo, great price) and sold my old brakes on gumtree. So, wasn't as huge a jump in cost as you might think.
