    R21 TXI 285mm extended brakes

    Anyone using these on his/her car on here ?

    How long have you been using and how do you rate them compared to
    standard 260mm brakes ? Any issues with them etc ?

    I've had them for a year or two. No issues and much better than standard IMO. But it all depends on what pads you go for.

    I had them on my gtt but with ebc red pads as they came in the kit. Indeed it al depends on that cause 260's with oe pads bite much better!

    Do you still have them or taken them off ? If so why ?

    Are you using r21 txi discs as well ? Some people say they alter the offset
    badly and due to this offset the discs are too heavy .

    What ever the discs are that came with the ketch setup. Not 100% wht they are from to be sure

    They are txi ones, they have less offset so your caliper will come closer to the wheel, i beleive it's 1cm...
