Mk5 Gti rear calipers on a gt 140
« on: July 13, 2013, 09:57:19 pm »
Hi
As above, is there any benefit ?
Do I need bigger discs & would I need carriers & flexi pipes?

Wanted to upgrade all brakes, but everyone's wanting silly money at the mo!

The brakes on my tdi were woeful. When I upgraded to gti brakes it made a big improvement I now have 100% confidence in my braking system so it was well worth it for my needs
