Looks killer !!!

Yes, I know there's a ''small'' Tarox kit with stock size discs,
but the (regular) price is still way above the NQSBBK.

No, the 323mm size was a MK4 R32 variant disc which they made up for me with Polo carriers. :happy2:
Golf R gone.

Heres my set-up on my R, there neuspeed disc from states.

Also upgraded to EBC Yellow stuff, these made a massive difference.





http://www.neuspeed.com/12633062lr-brake-rotor-front.html

This setup has made a big difference in braking, it stops much better then OEM, more progressive in a way where it does not just stop dead, you have more control, i dont know if people understand what am chatting about lol.

Also no more brake fade.

I was also worried about cracking so far no issues, the holes on these are done in away to prevent cracking, cant remember now but I did read something on them.

Nice looking discs although I think your installer as fitted them to the wrong side and the pads are from a mk4  not Mk5

Spot on Sherlock !

We realised when fitting rear pads were wrong, in regards to the disc install the labels clearing directed this way, it look wrong so we called Awesome GTi and they stated it is this way, we also called neuspeed they also stated it had to be set that way.

Every says the same thing about the disc, I may send neuspeed a photo just to triple confirm, I did explain the slot were one the opposite side, they said its directional and that his how they designed them.

I have been told it really won't a difference which way it's installed.

Is there just the slot pattern direction or do these have directional vanes?
If the latter then this is more important. The direction of the slots almost doesn't matter.

I they don't have directional vanes I'd mount them the way Dave suggest though. I did
it with my Tarox F2000.
