I was a bit unsure of what area to put this in but as its a group buy....!
Right guys the amount of posts I read on the forum about what brakes to upgrade to etc etc....
Spoke to a company who do discs, i bought some for my clio sport ages ago, but basically long story short they can do 4 x 100 Audi TT discs (312mm x 24mm vented for around £108 inc vat....
Based on if i can get enough interest saying around 10 people? There is no limit to the amount of people for the group buy, but aslong as its above 10!
I would like to make this into a whole package, well discs and adaptors, But what i need to do first is to get ones myself, and sort adaptors for standerd calipers and also Brembos.
All i aim for is to make it a damn site cheaper then 300mm.de!
any thoughts/interest?

The way im working on it is basically Im going to look into the 280mm set up first that saying really shouldnt take to long!
For a 280 set up, i believe, correct me if im wrong the Mazda 4 pots from a RX7 can be used....
Also have been told the 406 coupe/fiat coupe Brembos are all the same, and will accomendate the 312mm discs...
So thats basically what I am aiming to be able to provide disc and cailper adaptors so all you simply have to do is find the calipers
280mm set up, you can get discs for around £50

312mm discs just fit under 16" Borbet B's and Alpina 7Js
the 280mm discs are from a golf G60 iirc.
I'd suggest the brembo 4 pots are a non starter though due to the sheer bulk of the things, 750 sliding single pots require a bit of surface grinding to fit and leave a 4mm gap between wheel and caliper with new pads and discs fitted, thats with wheels of the correct offset btw and no spacer required.

You can buy the Audi discs with all the bolt holes already from numerous suppliers.

You can have it in:

300x25 / 4x100 or 5x120(no double circle)

^ Looks like a ATE Disk to me.
Just buy the brackets from 300mm.de which are TUV approved and get on with it!

Are they genuine audi discs???Phill172 wrote:they can do 4 x 100 Audi TT discs (312mm x 24mm vented for around £108 inc vat....
I'm sure i've heard (from a reliable source i think, just can't remember who/where!) that the genuine discs are lighter than all the others available, that are 'the same'!!!!
I'm sure the genuine audi discs were more than that from a dealer when i checked last year!!!
If they are genuine, i might be interested in a few months!! Can't commit at the mo though!!

Saw a set of Revolutions on a track car for sale recently and it had Brembos and Audi dics but thinking back now I think they were only 300mm.

fiat coupe brembos wont fit on 15", 16" as standard have 3mm clearence between alloy and caliper. thats std alloys.
they are 305mm discs with 4x98mm.
ive a fiat coupe aswell as the 325i,2nd hand brembos fetch between £100-£150 and a refurb kit is about £40 for seals etc.
