go for a front 280mm setup found on G60 golfs and corrado's

u need the calipers, carriers & hubs (along with disc's n pads)

its a straight swap, coupled together with braided hoses and you'll be stopping a hell of a lot quicker

280mm setup will run with 15" wheels

Cheers Gambit what about the rear is it the same thing.

rears are std on them all, so just fit the braided hoses to the rears

the rears only apply about 20% of the braking force so braided hoses is enough to beef them up - just get a decent set of pads for them
