Chequerd Flag working rear disc brake

Re: Chequerd Flag working rear disc brake

Nah, the kit was far too expensive but I am working on a budget kit to be sold through smartmods.
Budget 4 pot front brakes coming very soon and development for the rear has started already.

That’s unfortunate, but thanks. I hope the new project works out better. I was mostly interested in options available for a rear disc. That must be expensive to develop. Wouldn't you need something equivalent to a TüV certification?

Re: Chequerd Flag working rear disc brake

i believe S-Mann and Smart 4 Racing do a 4 pot for the fronts.

Not cheap but not £1800 either.

Speak to Rob @ S2 Smarts

Development is free, I do it all myself. I have worked out a few cheats to bring the price down so hopefully, the full kit (front 4 pot, braided hoses, rear calipers and discs) should be less than £700.

Fronts are complete, hopefully will fit the 1st set this weekend.
Need to throw the bits I have onto the rear axle to see how it all works out.

Yes, thanx. I've had my eye on S-Mann and Berlin Tuning whom both sell rear disc sets.

Errmmmm, really? Front and rear discs, and braided hoses for £700? You'll destroy the competition!
There is a catch though; I don't know how things work in the UK, but here it would have to have the TüV certification, and then I would still have to pay an engineer another 350€ to do a study and have the vehicles technical spec sheet modified.

Karamba!! Awesome! Sounds like it's really in the advanced stages! I hope you keep us updated with your progress :goodlk:

Re: Chequerd Flag working rear disc brake

rear sharan/passat calipers work a treat using the front discs, hand brake is easy to hook up as well, brakets to hold calipers are easily made too
