Once again the brake issue has arisen, last winter I had to replace the rear calipers which had seized and stayed with the original b5 calipers, the disks however need replacing and the service light has now lit meaning a trip to the stealers is imminent plus I have a trip to germany coming up in a couple of months.
Bearing in mind I have a lot of mouths to feed and the car is not used for trackdays (I ride motorcycles for adrenilin kicks) its mainly used these days around town with the occasional 250+ kph jaunts over to Germany I am wondering what the best option is. Stuff here is very expensive compared to the uk and its a hassle to get things shipped from UK
anyway here are my options
1. replace discs with standard B5 ones again cost 1800 plus pads
2. replace discs with quattro "drilled" B5 upgrade cost 2600 plus (pagid) pads
3. Replace front with B7 discs and calipers cost 3500 plus would need drilled rears to match front as MOT testers would pick up solid rears and drilled fronts so quattro sports drilled disks 1300 plus pads.
If I go option 1 or 2 I can later maybe next year update the front calipers to the B7 versions but I am not fully sure it will be necessary with option 2
OR if the slightly bigger B7 front discs fit with the B5 calipers would that be a better route than option 2 again I would need drilled discs on the rear to not draw to much attention from the MOT tester - has anyone tried that
I also see reference to phaeton discs are they also an option do they use the same calipers
At the moment I am favoring option 2 as its a good compromise and an upgrade from standard and hopefully the disks don't rust as fast as standard ones and then maybe next year upgrading the calipers to B7.
As I will do the work myself option 2 is easy to do as no bleeding would be required, yes I know its not too difficult to do with the right equipment but is cold here at the moment and the 6 nations
is about to start so the less time outside the better
