Default My new Big brake kit

Here is a pic of my new brake setup. It is made by fatbrakes.com. The owner has been building brakes and cars for years. I persuaded him to make me a big brake setup and told him that a bunch of TT owners might be interested in a group buy. He said if there are people willing to confirm, he will get on it and work out a good price. This is picture was taken lastnight to measure for clearance with the wheels. He said my stock wheels clears the brake kit no problem with about a 1/2 an inch space (Plenty!)

If you guys want to do a group buy, shoot me an email, I will let him know how many are interested. Then he can work out a price.

Specs.
13 inch 2 piece Wilwood Rotor
6 piston Wilwood Calipers
Stainless Steel Brake lines.

Default Interest would probably all depend on pricing considering there is no lack of quality brake upgrades

out there. What rear brake upgrades are available for our cars???

Default Jazzitt did the exact same thing...>

But ultimately was not totally happy with some of the issues that came up with this set-up.... He was going to arrange a group buy, do the big rear set-up, the whole works, but dropped it completely...

Default they are really thinking about doing rears, look at this pic

Here is a custom rear they did for my brother in law's Audi A6, the 2nd caliper is for the parking brake.

Default I would be interested but need to know if my wheels would clear.

Can you give us the specs of the clearance from the disc surface to the face of the caliper. And also the diameter to the edge of the caliper.

Thanks
