Stefan would spank that car...

Love all these tuned Golf Rs.

 

Amazing!!

 

Looks like fun.

 

not bad.....

 

me too. hoping to pick one up eventually

 

Any info on that car?
I don't like one thing from that car: front brakes. They are the Audi RS4 8-pot (rebranded in Sportec) and they ruin the brakes bias (on the Golf speaking), plus they are overkill for the brake master cylinder on the R.

 

I used to think the same about the brake part, but normally you have brake power divided something like 80% front 20% rear but once you install a big brake kit in the front the force on the tires increases big time so you have less grip in the rear and don't need much extra stopping power there.

So just brake lines and good brake pads are more than enough on the rear. I experienced similar on an bmw track car I had, big brakes in the front and a little upgrade in the rear.

Although, it looks kinda odd..

 

A BBK made especially for a car it's good, but if you get brakes from a car and put it on other car problems will apper.

My R was unbalanced badly with the RS4 brakes. On hard braking, the rear was all over the place. I felt unsecure

Now with the Alcon BBK made especially for the car, under hard braking the car it's planted

 

Get a brake proportioning valve ands set the car up right. As for the master cylinder why not convert over to the RS4 one at the same time to give the same pressure modulation.
