    Just finished helping out a bunch of people with Cayenne brakes getting their custom made light weight rotors over at golfMKV.com. Quite a few folks PM'd me and asked if I can do something similar for the GTI/R32. So while still on the roll, I'm gauging interests to see if any of your guys want an economical solution two pieces light weight rotors to work with your stock front and back brakes. Shedding weight, increase brake performance and looks cool all at the same time.

    Hats are $350 four corners anodized either black or gray. Coleman rings $150 a piece. Way cheaper than RB solutions for sure.

    330mm front rings, 312mm rear for GTI, 345mm and 328mm for R32s. We'll base the new rotors on my current hat design so it's the matter of submit a spec sheet to Coleman and get the correct rotor rings to work. You can ask for any rotor finish option you want.

    We need at least 15 people to keep the price down as above.

    I will upload the actual final rotors in a few






    different hat style

    Can you make rotor hats with different offsets?

    Also is it possibole to have hat holes where ring attaches open?

    I can provide all the measurements for the open holes. Or can draw it in AutoCAD if needed.
    Let me know.

    Will these fit Porsche boxster calipers? Any plans for an increased diameter rear for the GLI similar to ECS 12.1 rear upgrade?

    I would be looking for a few sets of 312mm x 25mm mk5 hats and slotted only rotors. Also if you are doing the mk4 gli rear rotor sizes I could be interested in some custom hats.

    yeah RB has them for the front but not the rear. And there hat prices are extremely high... I might just end up machining up a set or two

    What happened to this thread? I understand that it's over a year old but I'm curious if you made any of those Rotors for an R32. I need a new set and I don't really feel like spending the $800 on RB rotors.
