I wish I new. Something big on the toll road took out the rear as well but it still held airWhat did you hit a land mine?
That looks awesome.
Are you running 340 or 345 rotors?
Ah well. Hoping the seals and fluid do the trick. Pedal doesn't feel fantastic, but its definitely better after the pad swap, so I'll drive it as it for nowThat sucks man

Dealer told me to get bent basically lol.
Going to do the high temp seals and boots, and swap over to a different fluid. If that doesn't work then I'll try the MC.
Fuck me right?

The RacingBrake dust boots say all over their website, and their installation website that the boots CANNOT touch any brake fluid, or the seals will self destruct, so I did a thorough cleaning of the calipers, pistons, and my work surface as they are damn expensive for some little pieces of silicone. Cleaned and wiped everything down with BrakeKleen, and then left everything to dry overnight just to make sure. I reinstalled my LCA's (just added the SuperPro caster bushings, and Proflex adjustable camber front bushings), and then called it a night. Next night, got back out after dinner and added the new caliper seals. After that, added a layer of Permatex Ultimate Brake Caliper grease behind the seals, per RacingBrake's instructions. RacingBrake also makes clear to not get any grease on the dust boots (fragile things, eh?), so changed gloves to avoid any issue, and started adding the boots to the pistons. No issues here, just took my time, and they slipped on with some mild encouragement.
Bought my own at the local OReilys for a few bucks.Did RacingBrake send you any of the Permatex Ultimate Brake Caliper grease with the seals or did you have to get your own?
what is the weight of the Macan calipers as compared to stock?
Wouldn't a two piece rotor save weight though?
