My pedal is basically exactly the same. Just more bite and better feel to the brakes. My car has the 23mm master cylinder. I believe some later mk5 have a smaller one.

Most likely just some early mk5 had the smaller MC. All mk6 GTI have the bigger one and my MY2008 Ed. 30 has the bigger one. :wink:

I had these for years on my old Eddy, great little 4 pot BBK and once twined with a slightly better rear set up they more than handled my 2+ power. For less than £1k fully refurbd with new everthing and inc fitting it's a win win. Yes there are better set ups on the market but not many for sub £1k. If you're not refurbishing them and using your original discs and fitting yourself.....less than £600 I bet.

Correct. The NQSBBK are front calipers from a Porsche.


First three are the model number 986=Boxster, 996=911, 955=Cayenne etc etc

351 = Front brakes

421 Left Caliper (odd numbers) & 422 Right Caliper (Even numbers)

Dont buy anything with a 352 in the part number they are rear calipers and the pistons are too small for a Mk5

Where is the best place to pick up a second hand set of the Porsche brakes?

Porsche breakers.  Have a look at https://www.rosepassion.com/en  I bought brand new after seeing some bad refurbs and not wanting to pay stupid ££££ for used
