« on: January 21, 2014, 09:00:37 pm »
Hey guys.. I'm looking at these on another forum and I'm in need of a new set an thought why not go a bit better and upgrade.? Will this fit a 55 plate k04 mk5? and are these better than the original eom parts? Cheers bit of a noob :D
55 plate mk5 GTi steel Grey.. Full leather with heated seats,  armrest with cd changer and flat bottomed steering wheel. Very standard :( 2.0 Tfsi Petrol.  That's all for now! :P

Thanks for the info. Is there a more favoured setup for bigger brake kits?

I'm not looking for huuuuge ones but an improvement would be nice seeing as I need new discs n pads anyway?

Mk5 R32 / Cupra K1 / S3 / Rocco R / Golf R carriers and calipers.

345mm discs.. Heavy but a definite upgrade in stopping power... Or Porsche 986 4 pots if you have more money, or full BBK if you have a bit more. :happy2:

No, the discs use a completely different stud pattern and so will not fit the hubs.
As mentioned, S3 is a good upgrade.
