Hey Sam it seems the dude from Porsche Calipers UK has stopped responding to my emails since I asked how much to registered post some to Australia.

I'm happy to get a set from him with the 312mm carriers so you can work with those but need someone with a trusted friend in the UK that can buy them and pop them in the post.

[Stuwey]

Hey guys haven't read this thread in a while - I import parts from Europe so can help you out if needs be. I've helped countless forum members now. Also really can't see why everyone's so agaisnt going to a bigger disc - there is no noticeable difference in the weight of my stock worn out discs compared to the new 312mm brembos :/ when I held the 312mm I was shocked by the weight, but it's the same as the stock ones? :/

Anyways I've got my kit on now, just need to find the torque figures for all the bolts before I test them out - any one know? Mainly just calliper bolts really.

Also anyone looking into this upgrade take into consideration the one thing I forgot - the bloody pad wear indicator warning light and chime! I've already disabled the seat belt chime - so was pretty annoyed when I heard this new one due to me not modifying the Porsche wear indicator to the existing VW one.

Thank god I can use VCDS to recode it

Sure, or short the pad indicator wires. If the circuit is closed, all good.

Ordering the upgraded slotted rotors and A1RM pads tomorrow.
I remember reading somewhere that you need to pack a surface with copper grease to stop the brake pads from rattling.. Can anyone elaborate on that?
Also, can anyone recommend a workshop in Northside Brissy to flush the brake system with the new fluid by machine? I'll prob get them to fit up the braided lines and flush it all at the same time.

Copper grease between the piston and pad. Copper grease rocks, I use it on my sway bar bushes as well does not shift easily.

Jmac has a theory to the order of bleeding, cant remember but seems to be the best way. Hope he chimes in.

How/why so? I've got a power bleeder and have done mine in the conventional sequence several times with no problems.
