MkV/MkVI How-to Porsche Cayenne / VW Toureg / Audi Q7 Brembo brakes.

[tomshouse516]

So for anybody looking to setup Cayenne/Toureg/Q7 caliper on the front of your MKV using 1 piece rotors:

1: 6 Piston Brembo calipers off of a Porsche cayenne/VW toureq/Audi Q7.

-There are two types of calipers 17z designed to fit a 330mm rotor and 17" wheels and 18z designed to fit a 350mm rotor and 18" wheels.

-You also have to consider spoke clearance as the large calipers stick outward much farther and can contact your spokes.

2: Rotors: 2008 ML350 (17z) or 2008 GL450 (18z)

-2008 ML350 rotor specs, These are the rotors to use with 17z calipers



-2008 GL 450 rotor specs, These are the rotors to use with 18z calipers.



3: Caliper mounting hardware from JHM Motorsports.

4: 65mm - 65mm metal hub centric rings.

-These will need to be shortened as not to stick out past the face of the rotor and interfere with mounting the wheels.

5: MkIV .:R32 brake lines.

-Direct fit to MkV brake line and 17z-18z Calipers



The Calipers bolt directly to the stock spindle with the hardware kit from JHM. Rotors are a perfect fit aside from the slightly to large center bore corrected by the hub rings.

17z and 18z calipers used different pads.

the 17 and 18 calipers are not the same.
the 17z are made for the 330mm rotors while the 18z are made for the 350mm rotors.
the mounting points are spaced an extra 10mm to accomidate the extra size of the rotors (half of 20mm) and I BELIEVE that the pistons are larger on the 18Z

That is included, but might have been easy to overlook.
