Wonderful, I do like a different build.

I think your brakes are a backwards step, the VWR ones, particularly the Project Mu versions you have are faaaar superior. Performance wise, maybe not 'scene' wise.

Hi it came off various cars. The rear axle was out of an r32 along with the prop, the gearbox along with the abs unit and yaw module from an s3.

I sold the ko4 stuff to fund the build and I sold the parts I didn't use to get them my way. I still have enough standard parts to build 2 tfsi' though.

I think your brakes are a backwards step, the VWR ones, particularly the Project Mu versions you have are faaaar superior. Performance wise, maybe not 'scene' wise.

I took the vwr ones off as they kept warping discs and they had uneven pad wear too so I decided to split them to service them and I assumed they were ap but they weren't, I asked a vwr but they didn't help much so I the researched a company called ap Caparo and they were very helpful but the seal kit they sent wasn't for these so I got sick of chasing around for them so I chose the ttrs as they are lighter, have bigger braking area and generally were a quick fix as I didn't have anything to loose.
