....They certainly do!
I have never driven my GTI on track, so I can't comment about the AP's in that environment (except that I've read and heard only praise), but on an empty German autobahn I went to the middle lane, held 130 mph (GPS not speedo) and braked hard. They shaved my speed right down to around 70 mph in what seemed like a split-second - Awesome and without any side movement etc whatsoever - Totally stable!
I'm sure that both Hurdy's Tarox and VWR's offerings will perform the same. It's what's expected at this level and it's that standard of brakes which is needed for a Stage 2 GTI/Ed30 in my opinion.
I'd rather have good brakes and not need them, than need them and not have them! :driver:

I'll 3rd that.
Plus, with good big brake kits you'll generaly see around half of your money or more back when you come to sell them. Although I've got everything crossed they'll fit on a MKVI..
