Brakes – upgrade

i found my braking power to be wanting…. I regularly fly into a 3000ft runway with 90ft obstacles and was expecting better. So I upgraded to the matco WHLBE9HE-1 assembly. They have a sling TSI package that comes with everything you need. Including an angle fitting. I tested before and after. The new brakes allow me to run up the engine 600rpm higher without moving forward. They are literally twice as larger. They each weigh one pound more. But when considering stopping distance, I am not gonna worry about weight. They installed super easy and require no modifications. Love the results, highly recommend. Original on the left, new on the right. Which would you trust more …

    I’m struggling to get adequate clearance between the tyre and the WHLBE9HE-1 assembly on a friends TSI. I have fitted the 1/4″ discs that came with the package. What clearance do you have between the caliper and tyre? Any tips on fitment to overcome this?
