Ceramic Brakes

[Dave_Hedgehog]

can you just change the discs on the RS3 for ceramic ones or is it more complicated than that?

[sonny]

Im guessing you will need new callipers, bells and also needs the ecu re-coding for wet weather driving .

that just shows wow a ceramic disk is made, the main thing will be the seals in the pistons on the caliper, and as Sonny says the ecu coding so it doesnt keep kicking the ABS in, can you get ceramics for the RS3?

what are you running at the minute and what is the reason you want ceramics, some people on here just want the mods for pub talk and dont actually need them. ( not implying this is you btw)

[Dave_Hedgehog]

never really looked at them before

was just wondering if it was a straight disc swap which it appears its not

i tend to be a bit heavy on discs ...

linky?

cost?

difficult to do?

Got one photo of them fitted , Took a bit of work to fit as the offset was different .

I paid £3500 for the full set up .


They just fit under the 18's as well ..

Before fitting.

Grizz how much would these cost to fit on my C5?

Would the ABS need some sort of adjusting or not?

This is resurrecting an old thread but it is the closest result I could find to my question.

Can you buy a COTS OEM upgrade to Ceramics (full set up) for the 3?

Bump.
