I'm assuming those are 6 pots for the GTi? What size are they?

What's the standard size disc on a GTi?

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

Look stunning, what's the brake feel like when you upgrade to 6 pot?

Greenhouse, I pretty much got them for cost, sadly I can't do that again though!

Shins, they're a GTI specific 360mm kit.

Matt, I haven't driven a GTI on 6-pots, however I've played with APs before and they're very progressive and very powerful - not like some of the other kits that aren't matched well and end up a bit on/off.

Have to say im very pleased with the brakes on the gti.  We have a cooper s and everytime i go from the mini to the golf i almost put myself through the windscreen :laugh: In comparison, the cooper s brakes are far to weak for a 170 bhp car which is almost as fast as the golf

i agree with you on the oem cooper s brakes, very weak, quickly swapped them for a porsche big brake.

Alcons FTW, so all is not lost - JonnyC gave me some very good advice, and it means I can afford the new wheels that land on Friday easily. So everything works out in the end.

LOL - f*** 'bags! I've had stickers made up for funsies  :evilgrin:

I had 6 pot AP's on my last car, and they were a little compromised for day to day driving, i would go with AP 4 pots if i was to buy now

Yeah, that seems to be the thinking - 4pots with big discs being the "balance".

Will report on Alcons when they've arrived & been fitted next week.
