As the title suggests do people upgrade the fronts or fronts and rears?

Thanks

From when I spoke to a couple of other chaps, if you go BBK on the front only, the back gets quite twitchy so needs uprated rears. This is less of an issue if you're only going R32 fronts.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
