eViL 0 Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 You'll find that you lose whatever gain your 264 cams were giving you over the standard ones now I'm afraid.It may even be worse off than on original cams, but I'm not sure on that.. I'm no expert.You'll need to be on the lookout for a set of Schrick 248sc cams mate. Rare as f00k second hand.. Link to post Share on other sites

VRmonster 1 Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 i never understood peoples theories behind braking. you shouldnt in theory need bigger brakes, maybe more durable ones as you will be at higher speeds more often, but in a standard vr6 140 mph is aesily attainable, and whats the top speed in a s/c vr6? most probably close to that as its the gearbox thats limiting the top end. i guess it is better as you will be getting to higher speeds in shorter periods, but not a necessity as far as i see it. just my 2psi on the matter.

Guest Olly_K Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 i think you've answered your own question there mate.If say, you had a normal vr6, and going down one of your favorite straight roads you hit 80 before having to brake for a roundabout coming up, standard brakes are no problem. But, if your in a s/c vr6, along the same road, you'd probably be hitting 120 before you you come to the same point and have to start to brake. Yes, you could brake EARLIER.........but where's the fun in that ?bigger brakes = better stopping power, more quickly, with less fade etc etc Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge-Devil 0 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Try changing the pads..to thesehttp://www.auto-amd.com/vr6brakesproducts.asp Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 i want me be a supercharger monster, feed me your superchargers...!would a bremo brake kit solve the braking issues? or would you go for audo brakes (s4?) or would the carriers need changing.Also do the rear brake gear need changing too, can you mod the rear to take the disc's/calipers?

Slim 0 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Try changing the pads..to thesehttp://www.auto-amd.com/vr6brakesproducts.aspHmm, after the experiences I've had with EBC and their Green Stuff pads, i'd rather run some GSF budget pads than put them anywhere near my calipers. And I know I'm not the only one too. Link to post Share on other sites

Although 312mm brakes of of some VAG cars would be just as good. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Olly_K Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 i dont think just pads will help stop that monster !mark, it might be worth trying to souce an audi TT setup. Link to post Share on other sites
simey 0 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 How about the AP Brake kit? Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 It's worth speaking to Speedo, who's done a very impressive 312mm conversion on his front discs using OEM Audi parts. It works out a lot cheaper than an aftermarket Brembo/Tarox/AP big brake setup..I'm guessing that that whacking great supercharger has probably used up most of your tuning budget!![ Edited Fri Nov 05 2004, 03:35PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
tandino 1 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Im pretty sure the 312's i saw at Stealth belonged to someone on here - obviously Speedo now 8) .I knew i saw them Im probably going to go down this route myself - cheapest way to good brakes.As for upgrading the 280's to 312's you nned to get a set of 288's first then upgrade to 312's from them - you cant do it from 280's Pete.

tandino 1 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Mark - i know someone who's got a a set of 288's - he wants to swap for a set of 280's 8) Let me know if your interested Pete. Link to post Share on other sites
