Vw caddy big brake upgrade cheap-ish!!
I am finally getting a bigger brake upgrade kit to go on the caddy I’m going for s3 8p 345mm fronts with a 310mm x22mm rear setup I’ve got the whole kit for less than £600.
Will they fit? Let’s find out..

Thanks richard they fitted straight on but I wanted them to look nice so put abit of effort in making them pretty 👍
To prevent a lot of brake fluid from leaking out of the line, i take off the brake fluid cap, put a foil (bag) on the opening and srew the cap back on. Normally nothing more comed out or it drips very slowly. If it can't get air, it can't flow out of the pipe. Love the mindset on the brake update!

Hey bud that is a really good top tip 👍 I have used that in the past myself and it definitely stops the fluid draining out 👍

Just put something to hold down the brake pedal in before you do anything and nothing will leak
Makes a massive difference and looks great. 👍

Brake upgrades look the dogs, wee update on the performance difference might get you some more views. Done my own brakes for 30 years and always used cooper grease so you get my vote on using it, never had any issues using it so will continue to do it. Iove the content as I’ve got a caddy and had 4 x T5.1’s wish I had one just now but still going too strong for my liking, even got my next seat of recovered front seats n rock n roll bed in GTI grey tartan. Looking forward to see what type of conversion you go for. I like the side kitchen n 3/4 rock n roll bed. Keep up the great work and content 👍👍

I think the feeling around copper grease and brakes is that as they get hot the grease evaporates leaving just the copper behind and the copper filings cause stuff to seize or bind, there is a specific brake grease that is more durable and doesn’t contain copper. Either way I’ve got 1/2 a tin of copper grease that I will still be using. Every time I go to Eurocarparts for pads they try to sell me the specific grease. I’ve heard it from a few places
