The fronts, with two piece rotors, should be the same weight as stock. My rear set and Audi R8 parking brake calipers will be coming in soon. I'll make sure to weight those with the brackets and two piece rotors in comparison to the stock setup.
Also, would anyone be interested if I put a kit together with all the needed parts to do the front and rear kit along with two piece rotors?
all this being said, is their any viable upgrade for our rear setups aside from the R/R32 swap which is great added stopping power to the rears but also a significant addition of unsprung weight?
Has anyone done the math of how much unsprung weight the swap adds?
I doubt that the weight savings will be of any signifigance without going to 2piece rotors. My kit below will come with 1 piece drilled rotors. The goal is to be able to use OEM spec rotor from the R 345/310mm. Since I track the car and am so hard on the rotors I don't want to have to spend the big dollars on 2 piece rotors. Costs a lot to go to track already.
i am in the process of moving away (sold em) Golf R f/r brakes on my MKV GTI. Replacing this system with Brembo 6 piston 18z fronts and Brembo 4 pistons in the rear.
When moving away from OEM calipers you lose the parking brake so you have to find a solution.
The mounting solution I am using is a kit from Fabless Manufacturing. LINK
This kit provdes a mounting point for the Brembo calipers and a mounting point for Wilwood e-brake calipers. LINK
The rebuilt and refinished calipers come from a small startup in Washington LINK
I have not yet installed this braking system but will post the details of it when I do.

Hi guys! Recently purchased a set of z17 cayenne brake kit to fit in my gti. To my disappointment the caliper was hitting on the lower control arm when turning left or right making it impossible to be fitted. Is this anything to do with my dcc suspension? Cause found other mk6 with normal suspension that can fit the subject brake kit.

its only a very small amount you will have to grind. search the forums. There are pics of the modification. It's not because of DCC, it's because the caliper is large and mounts on the rear of the spindle/knuckle
Creation Motorsport said their bracket wouldn’t work on a MK6 R, also when I go to ECS and choose that bracket it says it won’t fit. Where can I get a bracket for the rear dual caliper setup??
