Pt. 2 Epic Big Brake Upgrade Audi TT Mk2 - 17z Brembo Caliper & Forza 2 piece floating rotor how to

[@ianpgonzaga]

Are you now able to upgrade your brakes after watching this video? Let me know if i've missed anything or what other content you'd like me to cover.

[@noseyparker6622]

Sounds like you did this in the middle of a wildfowl sanctuary what with all of the duck and bird noises. You must live in a beautiful spot.

[@rubenchico12]

What a great Video! Thanks Ian for sharing your excellent project get done. I'm right now working the same project for my GTI MK5.

[@ianpgonzaga]

Thanks Germantoy. I hope you find it helpful for your GTI, it's gunna be pretty much the same ;)

[@duttonfx]

Great video mate! Such an awesome upgrade considering how fucking enormous 17Z/18Z's are! Definitely intend on doing this on my R32 in the future.

[@ianpgonzaga]

Thanks Dutton. 17z as an assembly only looks larger because of the caliper. The rotor is actually smaller in diameter than your R32. If you wants the REALLY big brake look the 18z “look” a lot bigger because of the rotor size and the caliper sits further out from the centre of the hub. So comparing them in Order from smallest to largest rotor diameter 17z - 330mm TT 3.2/S 8J - 340mm Golf R32, Passat R36 - 345mm 18z - 350mm TTRS 4pot - 365mm

awesome

[@FrancescoCruciani-frx08]

how did you fixed the brake caliper / wheel interference at the end?

[@ianpgonzaga]

i changed my wheels hahaha. I'm running ET40 now kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKScgn-kbLCZprs

[@FrancescoCruciani-frx08]

@@ianpgonzaga I see, I temporarily fitted spacers, but I will also do that

[@ianpgonzaga]

@@FrancescoCruciani-frx08 yeah I did have spacers but it’s not the best to have spacers especially for driving the car on the track.

[@keyboardheroism]

I wouldnt grind the caliper. Adding a 5-10mm wheel spacer would get your off set clearance

[@chrisluo4162]

Great video. How did you manage to fix the clearance issue. My wheel is running the calliper while turning right

[@ianpgonzaga]

Hi Chris. I ended up getting different wheels with a et40 spec. Could easily clearance with hub centric spacers too.

[@chrisluo4162]

Thanks Ian. Yep I did see that in your next video. I am running BBS 18X8 with 50 offset and 10 mm spacer, which will need another 2-3mm to clear the calliper. Do you think the RSe11R 18X8.5 45 offset will give me enough clearance without the spacer?

[@ianpgonzaga]

@@chrisluo4162 should be much better. Can you do a test fit to make sure ? 🤔

[@chrisluo4162]

@@ianpgonzaga yeah I am talking to the guys at BLK motors and see if they can test the clearance for me

[@Simox28]

Hi, nice video! I should fit the z17 calipers on a golf 5 gti with bbs speedline 8,5x19 et48 rims. what size of spacer should i put? Is necessary change the front brake hoses ? Thank you

[@ianpgonzaga]

You will probably need at least a 10mm spacer. 15mm to be "safe". You will want to get the hard brake line coming out from the TT 3,2 or similar. The rubber line you can re use.

[@Simox28]

@@ianpgonzaga Ok, thank you!

[@ΜιχαληςΜ-θ5ν]

great video ian! i have a question , do you believe the lines from 2.0 fwd won't fit ? and wow everything is too close! we are lucky!

[@ianpgonzaga]

Hey there. Thank you for the kind words. They will NOT fit because of the caliper fitting on the end of the 2.0 line. The thread pitch is different.

[@ΜιχαληςΜ-θ5ν]

@@ianpgonzaga thanx ! thank god i have a tts donor car.

[@ianpgonzaga]

@@ΜιχαληςΜ-θ5ν perfect! You will have everything you need ;). Please let me know if my suspicion is correct with the S bend hard line - is it the same as the 3.2 one I have in the video?

[@ΜιχαληςΜ-θ5ν]

@@ianpgonzaga i will let you know my friend i ll go and get them in a moment

[@ΜιχαληςΜ-θ5ν]

hello ian. yes they are the same. have you tested the brakes? what is the feeling ? have you evere tried r 32 /tts / s3 brakes to compare?

[@PELEGSM]

Add a link for the brake discs please

[@ianpgonzaga]

Hi - please check in the video description as I’ve posted all relevant links within. 👌🏽

[@graemedouglas1079]

Hey Ian want to upgrade my 8j tts with Audi Brembos are there any models that will bolt straight on maybe 2019 q5 ?

[@ianpgonzaga]

Hi Graeme good question. I don't think many people have tried the newer Audi big brakes so you might need to be the guinea pig there 😉

[@bobmutchseo]

mkii 2008 TT 3.2 DSG 19" rims. what calibers and rotors for big upgrade

[@ianpgonzaga]

Many aftermarket options are available. I guess go with what budget allows :) the 17z / 18z is a good option without having to think too much about how they fit etc.

[@αισχοςντροπη]

Hello ian what is the weigh of the 2 piece rotor?

[@ianpgonzaga]

@@αισχοςντροπη good question. Hard to measure now that it's all installed.

[@ReeceJames23]

Yesss mateee 👌🏼

[@tt.blackforestcommunity]

🔥🔥🔥

[@noext7001]

what is the price of the brake disk ?

[@ianpgonzaga]

The best place to ask is going to be brakesdirect.com.au The team will be able to give you a quote including shipping to you. Pretty sure they’d be happy to ship overseas too.

[@johnnypina7900]

Can I run 17s with a 19x8.5+35 wheel?

[@ianpgonzaga]

Hj Johnny. You should be able to. Just check that the wheel balancing weights don't get in the way. It's a tight fit with 17s.

[@chrisluo4162]

Awesome job!

[@jmga6392]

Hi here you buy your rotors?

[@ianpgonzaga]

Hi JMGA from here www.brakesdirect.com.au/

[@bangarng]

Hey Ian. Any reason you chose the 17's over the 18z's?

[@ianpgonzaga]

Good question Rich! I went with these so the rotor didn't have to be as big/heavy. 😊

[@bangarng]

@@ianpgonzaga good to know, I am at a toss up between these and the 18z's. It looks like you can't go wrong with either.

[@ianpgonzaga]

@@bangarng yeah both good options - main thinf is the master cylinder. if you have the "smaller" one and not going to upgrade then stick with 18z. apparently pedal travel can be affected by going 17z without upgradinng MC

[@bangarng]

@@ianpgonzaga I think I have the bigger MC (2008 3.2). Thanks for the info!

[@ianpgonzaga]

@@bangarng yep you will already have it!

[@petegraver8322]

Hey mate, where did you get the bolts and spacers from?

[@ianpgonzaga]

They were just a purchase from eBay. Nothing special. I ended up ditching them in the end ;)

[@petegraver8322]

@@ianpgonzaga Ah nice, what did you use instead?

[@ianpgonzaga]

@@petegraver8322 sources wheels with a more aggressive ET to clear the calipers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKScgn-kbLCZprs I think anything around ET 42-35 would do. (ET35 would probably poke just a tad)

They are 19x9 et30

[@notthatdrew5818]

I'd be interested in an update on the rotors and some pictures of how they are holding up? How far have you traveled since putting them on? How many track visits?

[@ianpgonzaga]

Hey there - i can follow up once we're out of lockdown (which has just been announced as indefinite unless community transmission gets under control) and the car is in storage. I don't want to risk getting caught by the cop. I've only done the one track day but had been driving most weekend with the brakes. I'd say another 4000km on them? Still holding up well and not really many signs of visible wear. Will update when i can ;)

[@tadman3d]

How much were those rotors?

[@ianpgonzaga]

Hey Tomi. They were sourced locally so about $1200 AUD for the pair.

[@tadman3d]

@@ianpgonzaga ok cool. Nice looking kit

[@ianpgonzaga]

@@tadman3d it is hey!! not only nice looking but also held up well on the track and nice for daily driving duties.
