Can't comment on the other set ups which are a bit cheaper, but think they keep the standard track width

Do you have anymore feedback on the Ultimate Engineering kit?  Looking at all of the options it seems this is the most straight forward way to get bigger brakes on my T3.

Did you fit the rear kit aswell?

What model of Porsche did you source the calipers from?  Boxter or 911?

Having i nightmare trying to get a set of carriers for my audi 200 girling 60 calipers, got sitched up on another forum on a purchase of carriers,
Have now decided to so down the A4/A6 route. easier in the long run spares etc
Had a look around and the A4 and A6 2001-2005 2.L petrol.2.4/2.5 diesel both come with either 288 or 312 disc setups. calipers are the same but carriers differ .
Piston size 57mm.
I think 312mm disc might be too  much.
what do you reckon?

I can't imagine how it could be too much unless the wheel will not fit (i.e. 15"). Stuart

Hi Timmy, can you remember what carriers you used on 312mm X 25mm front disks with emytec kit? they look like 288mm ones, tried emytec but not possible to contact them, cheers
