Title: New Brakes.
Post by: Eighteen88 on 11 November 2021, 06:26

I’m looking for some advice on a new set of brakes both front & rear (disc & pads)
Car is sitting at 305bhp and I’ve no plans on increasing this and it won’t be used for track days just normal driving (is that possible in a GTI?) what’s the pros & cons of drilled or grooved disc?

Thanks I’m advance.

You have not said if you have the standard mk6 brakes or not? Larger discs and calipers would be first on my list with that amount of power even if you do not often do spirited drives.

Sorry, just standard brakes on the car at the moment, don’t plan on changing the callipers unless that’s needed.
