my first impressions of these are awesome!! they were a little tight at firts but Dave assured me that thats normal for a  new setup. Had them re-fitted today,

they have totaly looseded up now and feel great, pulled off the motorway from 70mph and forgot i had just had them fitted  nearly threw me and my girlfriend kim through the window!! 

will go for a nice drive tomorrow and them them cooked up abit. il see how they feel

what pads are you using??  this is a really good option and i hope it works out.  Id wager this would be alot better than the R32 setup, the only issue i can envisage is dissapation of heat with only a small disc. 

Some ducting would sort that though

Any more news on this? Greatly waiting with bated breath...

Also, what is the smallest wheel size that will fit over these brakes? Are 16" wheels still doable?

But the upside to the size is of course less weight!

Bump!

will this kit fit under the std GTI 17" wheels or do i have to have 18"s. If yes I will def have a kit, don't do any track work in my modded GTI (275HP, 315lbft) but the std brakes do not inspire me with confidence at all when pressing on

I like the calipers but I dont like the porsche writing on them.
I bought a brand new set of OEM R32 front discs and pads and what a weight in them got them for £160 but I am going to hold of on fitting them to my existing front R32 set up and also hang fire on fitting the rear set up.
so this leads me to my question with this new front new set up how will it integrate with the oem rear set or would we be better to upgrade the rears to the R32.

[roastpuff]

Or can you fit the Boxster rears to the GTI as well?

Will this kit work? http://cgi.ebay.ca/Porsche-986-Brake-Up-Grade-to-Boxster-S-Big-Reds_W0QQitemZ170486216869QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item27b1c538a5
