Brake Upgrade kits on Ebay

Hey All,

Know doubt I'm yet another person asking for advise on a subject that has been answered numerous times. But I'm still lacking the access to the whole forum and can't access the information yet.

Anyway I have a 2018 Mk4 caddy 2.0 DSG and looking to upgrade the brakes, I'm current running the 280mm on the front and looking to fit the 345mm front and 310mm rear set up (I have 18" wheels on so know I have the clearance). In my understanding on what I can access on here the Golf R is a good donor car for this set up? Whilst searching online for upgrades I came across these kits on eBay (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325737620769 ... =view_item) does anyone have any experience of fitting these or know the quality of the products, I mean I'd prefer to fit genuine VW parts but the full kit seems a great option.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and again I'm sorry if this is a repeated question.

Thanks :D

Just a quick suggestion. Iv just upgraded my front brakes to 4 pot macan calipers. And they were my 4th choice after all the others wouldn't fit my 18inch wheels without need for a massive spacer.

I now have the smallest caliper (out of the ones available on SF tuning, with a 5mm spacer and iv got at best 3mm clearance to the wheel, so having 18inch wheels is not a given that they will all fit.

If you have a look at sf tuning.co.uk they give you caliper measurement templates which you cut out in cardboard to make sure they will fit. I found this really handy otherwise I would have made an expensive mistake.

He's also a great guy that answered all my questions really quickly on Instagram.

Ahhh yeah forgot to mention that I’ve already got 15mm spacers on the front and 20mm on the back. So space shouldn’t be an issue.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll definitely get in touch with them. 🙌🏻
