I'm trying to source a set of TT/S3 front discs (312mm) and calliper carriers to upgrade the brakes on my Mk4 Golf....

Anyone know where I can look, or anyone got a set going spare?

Cheers
Mike

Why not get some aftermarket ones? TT/S3 brakes are not especially well thought of and OEM ones are no doubt dearer.

It's the calliper carriers I am mainly after... then I can go hunting for discs later. The TT ones will be an improvement on the mk4 Golf's though - they are fine just now but my car gets APR chipped next Thursday and I think they will struggle.

Mike,

Im desperately trying to find the rear brakes & Callipers off a TT 4x4 or S3 4x4 & cant find any anywhere, Its a long shot but if you find any can you ask if they have the rears I am looking for.
Its for an Octavia 4x4, I have fitted AP 4 Pots + 335x32 Discs to the front courtousy of Ian Godney @ Godspeed but the rear is now underbraked.

have you tried German Recyclers 01525 210978

Why not try and ring one of the VAG tuners such as AMD who do the brake conversions, they might have some hanging around?

Good luck.

Echo RoTTie's point - lots of people go for big brake conversions at AmD and the like. They may have a stash of second hand disks and callipers etc.

Better off getting the Porsche ones if you can stretch to it.

AMD just cleared all their stock on e-bay and have nothing left.

I have got hold of S3 discs and so just need the carriers now...

Hmmmm... will keep looking as I am not paying dealer prices!
