Well after fitting my turbo at the weekend and giving her a service tonight i had to get my rear brakes swapped, for the last week ive had metal on disc, ive been on call so had the truck from work, anyway, i bought berg's rear GTI calipers, so Genuine pads and some powder coated back plates, got in from work and started got the old 260mm discs and calipers off and the rotton back plate, and this is my first problem, now i think the rear hub is different on the GTIs as my lovely shiney back plates dont fit
so i fitted the discs, pads and calipers, time to bleed the brakes, apart from the bleeders being murder tight they bleed fine, i think i need to slacken off the cable brackets as ive got a little to much cable near the caliper, but its working perfect, so test drive time
After driving steady to help bed the new pads in i tried the brakes properly and all i can say is they are amazing, they stop and feel so much better than the 260s, really pleased
here are some pics, sorry its dark
