2 rods are just guide rods I made up.  They prevent damage to the wheel or caliper when fitting.

Lovelly brakes Dave, you just need a fast car to test those beautys out  :P

I should really invest in some better stoppers. Std brakes are pants after a remap.

Standard brakes are crap without a remap.

I've got a PerformanceVW Magazine somewhere and there was a Steel Grey Gti with Steel Grey 19" BBS CK's. The car looked absolutely stunning.  :drool:

The standard brakes are only not insufficient if your a late breaker or drive too fast on a standard car :P

Which one are you then?  :chicken:

The standard GTI brakes are very poor in comparison to their Cupra R/R32/S3 cousins.
Best mod in my very humble opinion.

Anyway lets not spam ED30 wheel colour thread anymore as they should be GOLD - Always believe in your soul.
