RS3 brakes on a3 - 8V

[itsmatt33]

Anyone swapped a complete set of rs3 brakes front and rear onto an a3? any coding involved?

cheaper route is also to look at Porsche Macan brakes, thats what I and few others have done.

Even cheaper is to install 4 pot brembo from 2017+ Audi A4, A5, Q5. They fit over stock rotors. I installed them on my 8V and 8S.

Not sure on the abs coding but can’t this be solved by using ttrs rotors?

I am not interested in any information other than that pertaining to retrofitting rs3 brakes on an a3 or s3.

Not sure where you are getting your information but I have not seen any reports that the a3 s3 abs modules will be unable to sustain the rs brakes. I have concluded that the rs3 front rotors will not fit the a3 s3 and other similar models because they sit 10mm out from hub. ttrs and rs3 brakes are interchangeable except for the front rotors. Calipers brackets dust shields lines pads and rear rotors are all the same.

I run the Macan/Q5 brembo brakes with 340mm ECS lightweight rotors and Hawk HPS 5.0 pads all around. There is a company that makes custom lines for the caliper to OEM S3 hardlines.
