Well I fetched my brakes today and they are brand new TAROX B30 - 6pots. The first set in the UK 

OEM brake disc, caliper and carrier weigh-in = 13.5kg



Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm shiny new things  = 12.5kg, so bigger AND lighter = deep joy too.



Caliper comparison to OEM



Going on nicely.



Even got my hands dirty today! 



The final money shots....







First impressions are excellent. The brake feel is superb and very progressive. There is more "feel" to the brakes and when used in anger are phenomenal at retarding speed. I'd even go as far as to say that they are better than the 10 pot TAROX's I had on the Golf - but the Golf is a heavier car. I can thoroughly recommend these if you have the money and there aren't many brake sets that look this good either.  :cool:

Next for some wheels to show them at their best  :laugh:
