There's nothing inherently wrong with Emerald, don't get me wrong, but they're using old software/technology compared to the newer systems. I'm not just saying that because I have the DTA, but I have the DTA because I did the research
That's great but only if you are going to make use of those extra functions. At the end of the day if all you are using is 3 or 4 inputs to an ECU then any ECU regardless of cost will perform the same.

Full front C4 VTS brake setup,
Calipers are the same as the 180, but apparently the discs are bigger (302 x 26mm)
Anyway much bigger than my stock setup, will let the pics do the talking.
So this was my old setup:
Old disc compared to new:
New setup:
New caliper:
The Discs only just fit, and i mean there's like a 5mm gap:
Tiny Old caliper with New bigger caliper:

#248: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo *Front Brake Setup Done* Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 2:27 pm ---- I'd have thought so
Everything went on perfect, lined up and fit right.
#249: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo *Front Brake Setup Done* Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 2:29 pm ---- Hmm dubious to try them with the Brembo's...
#250: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo *Front Brake Setup Done* Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 2:40 pm ---- Tried looking for offsett the only difference i can find between the discs is the overall size
With the 180's im sure there will be a gap, with these its very tight they only just fit.
#251: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo *Front Brake Setup Done* Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 2:44 pm ---- I'd be tempted to get a set if the offsets are the same
#252: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo *Front Brake Setup Done* Author: SAB206, Location: North WestPosted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 2:47 pm ---- you got rear disks dude?
#253: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo *Front Brake Setup Done* Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 2:49 pm ---- Would using both the C4 calipers and discs with a different offset to the 206 still fit tho??
