Is a rear brake upgrade necessary?
« on: April 06, 2020, 01:11:32 pm »
I got hold of a full set of mk5 r32 brakes a little while back and I definitely want to install the fronts!

Is a rear upgrade really necessary on a mk5 still pushing standard power ( for now  :smiley: )? Most breaking is done by the fronts anyway...

Maybe I’m being short sited but freeing up some cash by selling the rears sounds good to me right now.

Please let me know what you think!

Not necessary... but a good idea
