Default 3.2 Breaks

Has anyone ever put 3.2 breaks on their 1.8? Like OEM rotors & calipers? I noticed stock 1.8 rotors (solid not vented) are 312x25mm in the front 232x9mm in the rear. While 3.2 breaks are 334x32mm in the front & 256x22mm in the rear.

all TT fronts are vented, just the 180 rears are solid where the 225's have vented. The cost for swapping either (f or r) will probably cost as much as a good front BBK and the rears just need good pads since they do only ~35% of the braking.

How much do 3.2 front calipers run for? I'm thinking this might be a cheaper BBK. Do the 3.2 come with vented front?

I wouldn't call single piston calipers a BBK lol.

Unless I'm mistaken and they use R32 caliipers?

ALL TT FRONT BRAKES ARE VENTED! I dont know how much the setup would go for, but to put it into perspective, go look up the 225 rear brake upgrade and add another 20% atleast to that..... not cheap. If you want better braking, a $800 wilwood BBK is what you need

what would a Porsche bbk? What years/models are compatable? Can you use the tt hardware? I think that would be a better choice and you can go junk yard shopping

just wanted to make sure you saw it that time. Like said, you have an ALMS so you have f&r vented already.
