i have the suspension but not the brakes yet will hav to ge them very soon tho

[bobbarley]

I had mine re-mapped, but didn't do the brakes until a few months afterwards, and my suspension still isn't done.  Doesn't really make much difference to be honest.

I do LOVE my brakes now though, my old ones were clearly sha66ed!  Suspensions being done first half of February

happy days had the suspension 4 the old golf b4 i crashed it so i am glad i never put them on other wise i wud of lost them aswell they r coilovers off v-maxx.

what brakes did you get did u uprate the disces aswell bob?

Upgraded the front to a 312mm set up.  Anni carriers, and 312mm Mintex pads and discs.  Car definitely stops a lot crisper.  the old brakes, when I slammed them on, used to make a horrible crunching noise, and the car would lurch when braking.  Now when I brake it's sharp, clean, and gives me more confidence.

I don't mean to sound funny,but you are so far of the mark it's untrue.....The mk4 is known for it's crap handling even at 150bhp,if you think you can push anymore than that without sorting out the boat like body roll and understeer first your mad.

I think his emphasis was more on the brakes, TBH.   Although there is a tangible difference between the 312 & 288mm set-up, I personally believe the 288's with decent pads/discs are up to the job of dealing with 200/210 bhp.

You're right about the suspension, though - It would need sorting on 80 bhp, net alone 150!!!

Indeed, I meant the brakes more.  But as for as for the suspension, unless you drive like a complete loon, then it really isn't an issue!  150bhp, or 200bhp, I'm still only going to go around the corner at the same speed.
