I went with the Denso IK24s Phil like I said yesterday. They do cooler grades as well and with Stage 2+ you might need a step cooler than the 24s.

Back brakes all done, discs and pads.

Fronts.....going to tackle again this weekend. Got a mechanic mate coming round to sort the discs out.

Might have to delay the detail for a week if that's ok.

Post by: ROH ECHT on September 30, 2011, 08:35:57 am: I have a standard GTI w/K04 upgrade and more. I imagine it is like an edition 30 now. I've put in NGK Laser Platinums at around 50k miles. I have 75k miles now and it's been running great.

....I've had those on my car for a very long time and regularly change them every 20,000 miles. Keeps everything running sweet.
