Hi Everyone!
« on: January 03, 2013, 05:01:24 pm »
New to the forum today guys! Wanted to introduce myself.

Been driving GTI Edition 30 for 18 months now... very pleased with the old girl!

I was looking for advice on upgrading my brakes, when I found the forum! Have been intending to join one for some time so here it is job done!

Cheers guys!

Link very useful MC71 :smiley:   gives me something to consider. Whichever way dont think it will come cheap for a full setup.

Your standard brakes are ok if your car is not mapped so a new set of discs and pads will make a big difference as will a decent set of tyres.

Have a look into an R32 setup or S3 setup, both good although the R32 Calipers weigh as much as the rest of the car!

NQS BBK is around £600-£800 depending on the condition of the Calipers you get and if they need a refurb.
