Volkswagen Magotan Big Brake Kit Upgrade / TTSPORT Classic 8703
The Volkswagen Magotan's 1.8TSI engine pairs turbocharging with direct injection to make solid power and torque for a mid-size sedan — but the owner of this car found the factory brakes couldn't quite keep up with that motor. A soft pedal and inconsistent bite under hard driving led to a switch to the TTSPORT 8703 big brake kit.
The owner runs 19-inch wheels on this Magotan, which left enough clearance for a proper front six-piston caliper and a larger front rotor without touching the spokes.
Vehicle & Kit Specs
Here's the hardware breakdown for this install.
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Vehicle | Volkswagen Magotan, 1.8TSI, 19-inch wheels |
| Front caliper | TTSPORT 8703 monobloc-cast six-piston caliper |
| Front rotor | TT 380mm x 34mm curved, high-carbon heat-treated rotor |
| Rear rotor | TT 325mm x 12mm single-piece high-carbon heat-treated oversized rotor |
| Lines | TTSPORT stainless steel brake lines |
The monobloc-cast six-piston caliper pairs with the 380x34mm curved rotor for a direct fit at the front axle. The caliper's built-in dust boots help the pistons handle heat and dissipate it more evenly, and the rotor carries a coated finish to resist oxidation and rust over time.
Why It Works
- A rigid, monobloc-cast six-piston caliper flexes less than a stock sliding caliper under hard braking, which translates into a firmer, more predictable pedal.
- The larger 325x12mm single-piece rear rotor increases the contact area between pad and rotor, giving the rear axle more usable stopping power to match the upgraded front.
- The curved rotor pattern on both front and rear rotors helps clear brake dust off the pad surface and improves heat dissipation, which keeps fade in check on repeated hard stops.
- The kit was sized to fit behind this car's 19-inch wheels, so the owner didn't need to change wheel offset or size to run it.
Installation Gallery
With the wheels back on, the fit looks clean and proportional to the car, and the owner reports a firmer pedal with quicker, more linear response. Between the upgraded front calipers and the larger rear rotor, braking on this Magotan now feels a lot more confidence-inspiring.
