Reed the first post of this thread. Stock discs can and shall be used.
If you like you can get some J-hooked Brembo discs from Dave.

No way to fit the Boxster rotors on a Golf though . . .

Got my NQSBBK fitted yesterday. Only done a couple of miles but can already feel them working much better as they start to bed in a bit more. Looking forward to the weekend to take it for a proper drive and get them warmed up a bit  :happy2:

Errrr yes there should....you not got any?

Oooh, I didn't get any either and have been running my NQS BBK without them for nearly 2 years without apparent problem - should I be worried or getting spring washers on at the earliest opportunity?  :surprised:

Only a little when my last pads were new on (DS2500s) but I have the Porsche 'anti rattle shims' fitted into caliper pistons and use CeraTec as an anti-squeel compound (copper grease rots the rubber dust seals on the pistons!). The previous low-speed squeel went away after about a week or two.

I just fitted Pagid RS4-2s and new discs at the weekend and have only had the tiniest amount of squeel but that was only with light breaking when cold at about 30 mph and I'll bet that it will dissapear soon.
