Tiguan/Allspace Big Brake Kits

Stock brakes have sensors. If you get brakes without sensors you just need the either code it out or connect a short to the cable to stop the fault light coming up on the dash.

Thanks mate, I forgot to mention it's sorted. I was advised the rears don't have sensors and but the fronts on the other do. The front pads come with sensors so should be no issues.

My brakes are now ordered, now the painful wait for them to arrive. The rears on the other hand will come this week, so least I have half my birthday present to myself haha.

The guys at Brakes Direct are really great, can't recommend them enough.

Nice! What did you end up going with in the end? And yes Brakes Direct come with quite a few recommendations. That's where my kit originally came from also.

I purchased the following:
Alcon 6 piston Advantage Extreme with DBA 5000 series 378x32 T3 slotted rotors (this design to match the rears pattern)
Forza 2 piece brake kit 350x22mm - Using existing calliper
Pads all round - Forza FP3's - Still good for street/track

I will post a pic of the rears once received.

BTW - My rear calliper is getting repaired next week so will book in with Gordy soon. Get you maps soon after

Nice set-up. So how do you fit 350mm rotors on the rear using the existing caliper? Do you need a caliper relocation kit? Interested in this option as I have currently left the rears stock.

I'm patiently waiting for yours to get tuned as they'll update my file once they've sorted out some of the challenges with the ECU that they're experiencing. Easier to do it with the car on the dyno in Melbourne and means that my local guy doesn't have to get involved with loading a heap of revisions while they work their way around the engine protection limiting boost.

The rear Forza kit comes with a brackets for the adaption. This allows 350mm rotors to be used with OEM calliper.
Here's a link to the kit F2D.350.22.AAL-B | Forza 2 Piece Brake Disc 350mm Upgrade Including BLACK Carrier (Left)

What sort of issues are they experiencing with the ECU or limited boost? Are you now going to get your DSG tune once its remapped?

[Razor80]

Forgot to mention - There is a left and right set, so you have to purchase it together of course ��
Think the link didn't work, here it is again.

No problems but will get these fitted once I receive the fronts as I don't want to have to bleed the brakes 3 times and paying to get it done twice.

The brackets in the above kit comes in either black or red.

How are you finding your fronts now, should be bedded in properly by now?

Fronts are good. They are nice and progressive and if you really stand on them they pull up very well. I'm still due to take back and get them re-bled to remove any last bit of air from the system so I'll reserve my final judgement until then.

I took the car for a bit of a shake-down run on the weekend through the hills and even without the last couple of psi boost it's still got plenty of go. Brakes held up well but clearly the next item on the list is to upgrade the tyres as I'm still running the stock 235/35R20 Pirelli Scorpion Verde's which are a decent higher mileage SUV tyre but a fair way from a performance tyre.

My rear Forza rotor kit has arrived, looks pretty nice. Can't wait for the install. Now the painful wait for my 6's
