VW Golf MK5 MK6 Audi A3 TT R8 Brake Caliper Adapter Porsche Cayenne Rear Axle Front Wheel Drive

  • ✓ 345x22 1664230312 original brake disc
  • ✓ 4-piston 996352421 / 996352422 Porsche Cayenne brake caliper
  • ✓ rear axle

Brake caliper adapter, rear axle, on front-wheel drive models  Golf MK5 MK6 Audi A3, etc. with steel axle for conversion to Porsche Cayenne brake calipers, combined with the Mercedes ML 350 brake discs 345x22 mm. 

The Porsche calipers are connected to the hydraulics of the vehicle and can thus develop an enormous braking force. However, these do not have handbrake functions. The rear axle of Audi R8 is additionally used for a handbrake brake caliper adapter. The hydraulic connection is thereby closed with a blind plug / closure cap, thus this serves only as a hand brake caliper.

Suitable for the following VW and Seat models with steel axle (front-wheel drive):

  • VW Golf Mk5
  • VW Golf MK6
  • Touran
  • Caddy 3
  • Audi A3 8P
  • Seat Leon Cupra
  • Seat Altea
  • Skoda VRS
They are suitable for vehicles having an axle stub made of steel and not of aluminum.

Advantages of this brake system:

  • top deceleration, without comparison with conventional brake discs
  • better performance
  • supplied material certificate

Required components:

  • brake caliper: Porsche Cayenne rear axle , reference 955.352.421 + 955.352.422 (only 100% compatible with the specified Porsche caliper),  Brembo left: 20.7673.03  right: 20.7673.04
  • rear floating caliper: Audi R8
  • original brake caliper: 345x22 mm , reference 166 423 0312

Delivery:

  • 2x brake caliper adapters for Porsche caliper
  • 2x brake caliper adaper for R8 hand brake caliper
  • 2x centric rings
  • high strength mounting screws
  • material certificate

Tips, information and advice:

  • To improve ventilation of the brake system, we recommend removing the anchor plates/brake dust plates.
  • For easy mounting of the rim, we recommend purchasing two of our wheel mounting aids at the same time >>go directly to the article here<<
  • We cannot give you a generalised answer as to which rim size you can ride after your brake conversion. There are simply too many different wheel rims. For this reason, we have developed a template with which you can easily check whether the brake system kit fits under your rim. We have included a link to the template in the description. If your rim does not fit, you can simply use wheel spacers. >> Go directly to customised wheel spacers <<
  • Install the adapter with the required components and then check whether new brake lines are required, as the old ones may not be long enough or the connection may not fit, depending on the model. Due to the significantly better efficiency, we recommend switching to steel braided lines. We have developed a steel braided line configurator especially for this function, which you can use to assemble and then install them according to your requirements. Click here for the steel flex configurator >> Configure steel flex brake line <<
  • The handbrake cable must always be used from the installed calliper, which means that the new handbrake cable may have to be adjusted slightly. For conversions in which the original calliper is still used and the original handbrake cable can be used, you may have to route it more directly to compensate for the larger disc diameter and longer travel

Please note that our articles have been designed for racing and motorsport. Use in public road traffic usually requires an individual approval in accordance with § 21 StVZO by an officially recognised expert. Further information can be found under TÜV Süd. For the individual approval, we will provide you with an expert opinion or material certificate, if available.

  • Can I also use other brake discs as specified in the required components?
  • No, unfortunately that is not possible. The reason is simply: all brake calipers have different heights and depths. If another brake disc is installed, the brake caliper would either not fit on the adapter or not run in the middle of the brake disc. But if you want to install a different brake caliper, we also have an option for you. You can have a custom-made product made for you, take a look at the following link for more information: https://epytec.de/uk/custom-made-products/brake-technology/adapters-for-brake-systems
