g88s are an awesome disc mate. I had them on my furby vrs in 312mm and can honestly say they are one of the best discs I have used. had Zimmerman on before that which were drilled, no where near as good, and yes they cracked

Just 312x12, Mike.  :wink:  will stay with the Ferodo DSP for the next months
(no track and no autocross), remove the shields, fit the RS3 vent and the
bronze bushes.

I think about getting Pagid RS4-2 or Endless MX72 next year. The Endless
seem to be economic in the long run. From what I read they last 3 times
longer and the rotors twice.

I'd like to go for a NQSBBK, but sadly TÜV is a thing I can't ignore in this country.

 :indifferent:


ps: nice read

The RS3 Scoops should be renamed as the dust shield cooling device,I just cant see the point of them personally.

Look at the scoop arrangement on a W12 Phaeton - much better - needs work but much better.

Endless pads are very capable and VERY expensve - do you need something so capable over say a RS4-2 on a clean disc

Dave, the Phaeton vent/shield arrangement looks very effective, but pretty
much work to fit.

The RS3 element will do its work properly if the shield is removed. Remember
the air stream under the frontal area of the car isn't moving in a straight line,
but more like a 'V' passing the wheels and brakes. That is why the RS3 vents
are positioned that way. Even more it's cheap and simple.

I ever wanted the RS4-2 as I now some guys using them and they are very
happy with them. Since the boys from Raeder Motorsport first told me about
Endless I just hear and read good things about them. They last at least three
times longer and the disc at least two times. But I still tend to go for the Pagids.

I'm thrilled with the performance of my new TAROX brakes on the Polo and for a price I couldn't believe or resist too. Grooved 1 piece F2000's at 323mm. You can get the same kit for the Golf too, but 312mm or 330mm discs :happy2: Bonus was that they were a full kilo lighter than the OEM set-up.  :jumpmove:

TUV approval too Bruce  :smiley:
