golf brake update to rs4/rs6 possible?

[golfmaster]

I want to upgrade my brake system and i would like to know if its possible to put in my vw golf tdi 110 bhp 2001 a brake kit from a audi rs4 or rs6? will it fit?my car have a 17" wheel does it need any other change?
i will wait for your sugestions..
thanks very much

You would need at least 18" wheels for the above.

It would be more cost effective to look at maybe a TT or a S3 for your brakes. As these are likely to be a direct fit and second hand parts in good supply.

Anything is possible its just a question of money..!!

Try looking/joining a golf forum like this one:

The guys there will know more about what options are available...

The hubs are different on the S3 cars to the tdi's audi's.

RS's: 5x112
Dubs: 5x100
So No.

Golfmaster, have you looked at the ECS Stage V kit?

[>RS4<]

Just order a Brembo set from a Leon Cupra R,very good brakes....

It's plug and play....(atleast 18 inch wheels ofcourse)

(I know, i have them too)

[clived]

But they are tiny compared to the ECS kit



(Brembo far right, ECS V far left )

[>RS4<]

That also goes for the price ..

Picture shows the difference between the 2pot, 4pot and the 6 pot. All are made by Brembo and all would improve the braking on a golf Tdi. You pays your money and takes your chance. I have 6 pots on my RS4 and before that I had 4 pots on my old modded S3 and they were outstanding. The golf is a fair bit lighter and bearing in mind its more modest performance, I would suggest the smaller Seat type would be a pretty cost effective option.
