cabrioman 6 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 how easy was it to fitt the porsche barkes mat, wheel look great mate Link to post Share on other sites
kalv 0 Posted May 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 The porsche brakes were front ones of a boxster S model...I had to get some carrier custom made to make them fit... and use 312mm TT discs.. apart from that rest was easy as if changing your normal brakes... Got some more info on how i did it here : http://www.heerit.co.uk/vw/porsche.htmlYou will need to check what alloys you got as my TT alloys just clear the calipers by about 5mm.

Rikki 2 Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Looks great mate if i can get some calipers maybe you wouldnt mind givin me some info on where you got the carriers and hoses made up. Also how much were the carriers and hoses? Link to post Share on other sites
kalv 0 Posted May 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I got the discs, carriers, hoses, bolts from a company called GTIVW down in south wales.. I have got there number somewhere. I had to send them one caliper (with pads) so they could machine the carrier. He did the discs for me and ordered the correct stainless hoses. Whole lot cost £315 inc delivery. Did it in one week.I paid £340 for the porsche calipers with brand new pads/clips/pins etc... Link to post Share on other sites
