Is it a good buy,or a pile of crap?
-
mmmm that seems very cheap to me for 4 discs, pads and wheel bearings unless they have had a masive discount for bulk buying then for me personally id be very wary of the quality. In saying that i may be wrong.

That Appears to be a kit from the same people my brother got his from for his A3 1.8T, & the honda prelude he had before that,
We where very impressed with the quality if that is the same kit, pattern looks the same,
the A3 had a warped hub which we werent aware of symptoms appeared as a warped disc, we put this kit on but after 6000 miles the disc warped again,
the company replaced all 4 discs & pads & apologised for the inconvienience, its was only my disbelieving nature made me check the hub & found that was warped, replaced all at the same time as the new discs & pads an my bro is well happy with them..... even after covering 15K
hope this helps

I ordered back disc, pads and bearing of them the other week £85 delivered or alittle bit less
Bought and payed for them wednesday morning and where in my front room the very next day! Ive ordered string thats taken longer lol

Volksbits are the seller, and they sell this kit on their website for £160 odd.
It is exactly the same kit that I have on mine (except mine is the 288mm disc). No issues with it whatsoever so far, but I only have had mine on since January.
It doesn't make your brakes suddenly super awesome, its no better or worse than standard. But its a good price for all round discs and pads.

Mines a 16v so not sure if those ones in advert are the right size?
-
You do know it's the 280mm kit listed (so no VR and no 95on GTI's)
-
You might need the 288mm kit then:
