before splashing out on a big brake kit, I would try uprated discs, pads, fluid, and hoses, much cheaper and probably more than enough :smiley: unless you got Hurdy's money tree of course :laugh:

IMHO (yes, I'm old school and well, old :undecided:), I don't see the point of putting another vehicles brakes on a VW. If you want a Porsche, buy one.

Independent VW parts manufacturers/suppliers are another issue. They are acceptable in my socially un-green and anti-carbon-footprint reality world, but NOT drerssing up a VW as a Porker or any other marque :angry:

Rant over, but folks, I really do not get the point.

More beer/red wine please = chill :cool:

The Awesome GTI EDC Porsche upgrade is meant for the 4 X 4 Cayenne and not the Porsche 911 or Boxster. As such I don't recommend it either.

When I asked about the price of them they said the price was £1,350 plus VAT plus fitting, this was immediately followed by Mark saying "Do you want my TAROX 10 pots for £1k fitted?"........The rest is history :grin:

Thing is they look just the same as the Boxster brakes so I'm suprised that they aren't.  :sad: Shame as the red ones wouldn't look too out of place. Memories of the Audi Rs2 http://www.quattroownersclub.com/events/rs2/rs2.htm ......ahhhh  :rolleyes:
