Arteon Brake upgrade

[BO11OS]

Vedi, Still looking at this stage as no one has anything in stock, for the money they want I don't see a 6k benefit but if we get around 370 to 380 kws at the wheels i'll prob need something better to slow th is bad boy down.

Dairyfloss, I have seen on some Gold R's they have an R calliper not sure if it is 4 or 6 pot though & I think maybe only in America not sure.

just my personal opinion, golf R oem calipers are underrated they just come with average pads and discs from oem.. but still do a decent job for a certain time then start to fail quickly.

consider getting dba 4000 rotors (350 - 450) and dba xtreme xp orange / XP650red pads(think they are the same from my research... same product codes.. same heat threshold specs.. )... going to get a much better result over oem and might be all you need really for 500 - 600 instead of 6k

Thanks, the DBA pads/rotors are an interesting option and may be a good temporary plan B if the stage 3 brakes don't fit, though fitment is looking good so far =)

I was also looking at ordering some Brembo 345mm (4Pot) Porsche Macan or Audi RS options online, but my long-term plan was to go 380mm Stage 3 eventually anyway. The Golf R (2 pot) calipers were also a consideration, but there wasn't too much of a price difference for the 4pot options - especially given the addition €430 in shipping. Here's the site I was looking at: Vw Arteon Big Brake Kits

I think the rotors are the same, but the Arteon calipers are single piston, where the (new) Golf ones are 2pot - tho I could be wrong

interesting. thought it was the same gear as the golf r... thats a shame for arteon drivers if VW are cheaping out a bit.

audi TTS brakes are like golf r brakes but lighter...... if u can find them..

otherwise i think 2nd hand 4pots (porsche audi) off a wreck are probably the best buy if ur gonna replace the calipers... otherwise just replace the disc and pads like (dba4000 and dba xp) even on a single pot should be good with stage 1 - 3 (depending on what ur doing regularly).

why ur considering stage 3 brake kit on a stage 1 car..... only if ur going to do laps and laps at a circuit and regularly... u might regret ur purchase very quickly.



P.S after doing some reading online they are the same brake calipers as golf r.. open to being corrected if someone can prove that.

@amunra - it appears you have corrected yourself and yes, to confirm the Golf R / Superb 206TSI 4x4 / Passat 206TSI R-Line / AUDI S3 / Tiguan 162TSI all run identical (Front) 340x30mm vented rotors with the same sized single piston calipers, however the Golf R / AUDI S3 have a cover plate on the caliper, purely a decorative plate.

And no, the AUDI TTRS front calipers are NOT like Golf R Calipers, they are a 4 piston caliper.

The new MK8 Golf R has 357x34mm rotors with newly designed 2 piston calipers.

I personally run the following on my ŠKODA Superb 206TSI 4x4:
- Clubsport S (semi 2 piece drilled) front rotors - Part No. 5Q061301C
- Clubsport S front pads - Part No. 5Q0698151L

This combination is excellent, a vast improvement over standard.
