Hi guys,
Looking for some advice from seasoned R36 guru’s here
, by the way I did do a lot of searching, so I hope this doesn’t annoy anyone, like its been done 1000 times before, I just cant find any info !!!
I’m trying to understand if there is a bolt on caliper upgrade for the R36 using standard VAG parts.
For example, would a Q7 front caliper go on the R36? Or possibly with an adapter?
Maybe a Porsche Cayenne front caliper?
Maybe an S4 rear? Would go on the rear of an R36?
Calipers and adapters seem to be a mystery, and i’m not so fond of looking at BBK’s from willwood, AP or Brembo etc, trying to keep it all a bit understated, and oem like.
Just trying to achieve the monoblock look but with a standard VAG part - coz standard VAG parts are good, when they are made by brembo :-0
Anyhow - advice, those that have done it or know about it, would be appreciated.
NB: going on std diam rotors and std 18” R36 rims
