ABT Tuning

Are you all referring to their use on a track?

Nope road use for me.
For me its not just absolute stopping power its also the 'feel', long pedal travel etc
std brakes are ok but have very little feel on the limit, never had much confidence in them tbh.
I find it very hard to be able to do a controlled fast decel without stepping over the line and triggering ABS.
Prev car I could brake very hard and 'feel' where the limit was.

plus of course the Golf is often travelling way faster than you thought   esp if you have a bluefin eh

Although the GTI's brakes are good, the pedal response feel isn't as good as aftermarket big brake kits such as by AP Racing. The better 'feel' and awesome but smooth stopping power is exceptional and gives bags of confidence.

Abt have always been very, very expensive!

well i dont see any point in upping frm e30 to 265! and the next one up is way too much, i feel disapointed

I just don't understand how ABT survives with those outlandish prices.

thats what i am aiming to upgrade to.
The R32 & MK2 Cupra both get the 345mm front set up, but the Ed30 shares the gti set up.

interesting , looks like they consider 265 PS for std brakes.

Def a diff outlook to all previous tuning on the ED30!
From what I have read , 330 is OK on std turbocharger as its a K03 as long as you improve intercooler.

Brakes is a weak point tho

ED30 has K04 as standard, regular GTi has K03S

You get what you pay for Realy long tests on the road any many houers in testing costs money.And they give garantee for the things,that goes for MTM as well ,and offcourse Oettinger

well, Ottinger: 330/435 + intercooler + exhaust + intake = 3500Euro
300/400: 1200 Euro, which is still cheaper than 310/420 from ABT
