Morgens ED30 No. 1871 - New suspension & audio!
Morgen:
Okay...
So, eventually managed to get my front brakes on! I need to remember to order a clip however as one was broken :surprised: They look lovely and are a massive improvement on the old gti brakes.. Got my brake lines from HEL in the end and they're lovely, too!
However, the horrendous judder still occurs so that rules out warped discs, a stuck caliper or anything brake related... I'm a little gutted.
Thouuuugh.. My boyfriend drove mines about while I went for a sunbed and when I was back in the car he questioned if it could be the rear brakes. This has never been suggested so I was a little dubious but he pulled the handbrake up while driving at a slow speed and the issue was ridiculously obvious! My rear brakes are ruined :laugh:
Next step: pads and discs on the rear. I'm tempted to upgrade to the R32 set up again for the rear but it'll end up expensive as I'm quite the fan of powdercoating.. Grrrr
Andy:
the r32 rears are a good up grade and do pop up cheap from time to time

Just read through all 19 pages! Sorry about all the bad luck you've had but the car has definitely come a long way, loving the R32 rear bumper & exhaust.

Unfortunately I've run out of cash for this month and with Christmas looming I'll be buying my boyfriend something quite pricey for his own car (he wants brakes or a bumper.. or R32 side skirts.. but I want to get him a mk6/7 steering wheel, oh the choices) so my brake plans are on the back burner... For now I'll buy new discs and pads with the intentions of a rear upgrade in the future :innocent: Probably be Summer 2017 or something with how slow I am to do things!

Aw, thank you! Sometimes I take a wee step back and look at her, then I'm filled with sadness and regret because the bodywork is ruined haha! Oops. But thank you anyway :love:
