RPW has just finished our latest brake upgrade for the magnas.

We can now supply a complete bolt on Ralliart brake upgrade for the rear of the magna vehicles.

The kit comes supplied with slotted / vented 284mm rotors, replacement caliper, brake lines, slotted rotors and EBC Black stuff brake pads. Calipers are overhauled with new seal kits and painted your choice of colour.

The kit can be bolted on with stock hand brake, no modifications required. Takes around 2 hours to bolt the complete kit on including bleeding brakes.

Just finishing fitting the kit to the TT magna and must say, it is looking very nice. Will have some photos of it soon.

I know people have been using the AWD kits and finding fitment issues, but garaunteed there is no problems like that. This is a complete 100% direct bolt on with no mucking around required.

Anyway if your interested PM me or contact us at RPW. We are importing in the next few weeks around 5 - 10 calipers to start making some more kits up.

Im interested, but doesn’t 80% of your braking come from the front wheels? Do they make fronts as well?

The rear brake kit I havn't loaded up on our website / price list yet.
And yes we do either a twin piston / standard rotor brake upgrade or a twin piston larger rotor upgrade package for the front of the magna

How much were we looking at for this rear upgrade package?
Have already done the fronts, but after putting larger wheels on the car its obvious i need bigger rears =)

Would the package be cheaper with green stuff pads over black stuff?

Cheers,
Russell

Green stuff pads are an overkill for a street car on the rear and are more expensive.

Best give me a call at work for pricing.

That's right. Brake ballance is 65/35. Upgrading the rears is 70% cosmetic so green stuff would be expensive overkill. Besides, they can't be fitted unless you've got twin pistons in the rear.

Actually we can get green stuffs for teh rear larger caliper package but it is not necessary unless you are racing teh vehicle.

Sorry for some reason i was thinking the greens were lower than black...
I got greens on the front, just assumed black was higher.

Nope, black -> green -> red -> yellow -> blue.

Dave,
Is the replacement caliper single piston as well, im thinking it would be...
How long are you looking at doing these kits for? are they going to become a permanent feature? Spoke with you on phone about prices, just working out budget and time; tax back should help speed the process up.
