So how about a general list of all of our options + prices?
He's saying to buy the hard ware yourself
I'm just wondering how much he's selling his custom fabbed brackets for?

Price list here. I went for the Stage III kit and am sourcing rotors myself; he doesn't have any handy anymore.

Got my brackets, ordering rotors soon and getting calipers sandblasted/painted before installation - hopefully done by the end of the month. Getting a shop to do it as I do not feel fully comfortable doing it myself, and lack some of the right tools.
The brackets look beautiful!

where are you going for the install? How expensive is it going to be?

Unsure, debating between two shops which have good reputation locally. One specializes in VWs (Shift Autosport), the other is Brian Jessel Autohaus, which does BMWs and other German imports.
Another contender is The Speed Syndicate, a shop that pretty much handles everything. One of my friends' good friend works there as a tech, and they have lots of experience with European cars as well as JDM.
Labor is about the same between all of them ($90-95/hr). I'm leaning towards Shift because they recently installed a front Cayenne BBK, and a few big turbo kits on A3/GTI's.

I'd go with the place with experience. tell me how smoothly it goes. if this is a viable option. I'm going to start saving to put one of these kits together.

BBK for MK6 GTi
Greetings all,
Exactly what i been searching for I been wondering if there is any alternative to "Movit" rear brakes that are way too expensive...
I have picked up a lot of information from this forum and would like to share some of my finds.
I have Porsche Cayenne 6 pot with Pagid pads and 330mm rear rotors with bracket to retain stock calipers. There are very very few wheels that will fit the Porsche 6 pot calipers. I am on BBS VZ044 which are 18 x 8 offset +44mm. The clearance is only about 1mm. I also had to roll my fenders The only other wheel that i have seen clear the calipers without spacers is OZ ultraleggera.
I would love to use "xola3que" rear brakes for my Golf R I just ordered. waiting for his reply

It's not at all hard to install the rear brackets and calipers. It took me about two hours from start to finish, including bleeding. Heck, if you're local, i wouldn't mind install them for you. It's super simple.
The only tool you might need to go rent or buy is the XZN 14m triple square bit. The rest you can use your typical tools and start with the suspension upgrade know hows since that's half the job.
It's really fun installing it yourself. I wouldn't give that to the mechanic.

Bet you my finish is cheaper than yours.
I'd like to get them powdercoated but I don't quite want to spend the money... or disassemble them, as I hear it's quite fiddly.
Actually it's polishing job. I only had to strip the paint, take off the bleeders and bridges. The aluminum brembo used was first grade so it shine beautifully.
$150 for the polish job. all six calipers.
