Exactly his point - 6-pot overkill for my use, but not for your use :happy2:

By the sounds of it the R32 setup looks like a great upgrade at a great price for everyday use and the odd track day - if you have that little more to spend or planning on quite a few track days they the next step is Brembo/AP/RS setup - all at a price of course.
Depending on cash flow in the new year I could be tempted with an R32 setup.

What we do need to remember is its all down to grip on the road, you can have the biggest/bestest brakes you like, but if you've reached the limits of the tyres grip on the road they won't make any difference at all. Get good tyres :happy2:

I think that's a good way of describing it Neg :happy2:
My needs I think I am going to go with a set of the R32 brakes but with some upgraded discs/pads, especially after seeing on the other thread the rears can be fitted too :driver:

Anything can be done but be aware that any change to rear brakes involves all sorts of jiggery-pokery with the handbrake gear etc, and that approx 85% of braking is done on the front of our FWD GTI's.
Not trying to put you off doing it but just forewarning you, Steve and others.
:happy2:
