I'm not sure if anyone has asked this but how do these calipers compare with the standard gti calipers in terms of weight

I guess the Porsche VW ones are heavier?

Edit - sorry meant VW heavier, but question answered thanks. :happy2:

quick bit of advice needed please fellow nsbbk users!
i needed new pads and discs at last service a few weeks ago and i opted as a cheapskate to go with europarts parts and im squealing like a pig!!!
do i need to ask if they fitted the anti rattle shims....or do i just stump up and buy better pads :sad1:

if so can anyone give me a nce option for pads please.
thanks in advance

I am running mine without the antirattle shims at the moment and without squeel. Whereas the shims helped with previous pads, I have got away with a good dollop of Ceratec on the back of my current pads and a bit more on the piston faces for good measure  :happy2:

That picture above shows copper grease on the back of the pads - get that wiped off if you have not already done so and use Ceratec. The petroleum based copper grease rots away the rubber dust seals on Brembo calipers.

I found that any squeel fades away with a couple of weeks of use; if not I found that another reapplication of  Ceratec sorted things out despite there being plenty there in the first place.

PS those Galfer-made pads are good!

yep they are OE pads.... Galfer ONLY make for OE manufacturer.

The give away is the "351" in the part number....that refers to front brakes on Porsches

That's an OEM set of £190 brake pads you've got there pal

Has anyone fitted these behind BBS CH 026 wheels (19x8j ET50)

My stance is perfect for me and I dont want spacers so if these do not fit I'll have to settle for some R32 brakes i think.

If the answer to this is yes they will fit fine...

Dave. can you still get the new calipers? If so how much to supply:

New calipers painted red
Mounting kit and hoses
Fast road pads (I have no plans for track days)
All wires and anti vibration shims etc.

Just a total price delivered inc vat etc.

Many thanks and no rush as I know your busy but at least this way I can budget it properly.

 :happy2:

Copper grease also does harm to alloy parts (calipers) and ABS sensors.
Pagid Ceratec and other ceramic based antiseize pastes are ones to be used on current cars.
