back to the subject, which has been completely coverd by maplesyrup, so well infact that im gonna shut up and take his advice, cos i still run standard everything, with f**ked shocks, clicky C.V, wheel bearing about to explode and seized rear calipers lol, but i did shoot a flame out of my powerflow exhaust bout half hour ago, which gave me a gti grin

Honestly guy's I have thought about G60 brakes, having done pretty much every other mod, but I can stand the car on its nose at the moment in the dry - do you think its worth doing? I'm running 16" wheels so the'd be no clearance issues with big discs..... ?

i like g60 brakes.    they have serious high speed stoping ability for relativly littel money.  also if your driveing hard  you won't meet brake fade even with std disks and pads
all the VW's have gone bar 1.
