Partsbuy is the place I got them from (google it, first hit) they were recommend to me by someone on here IIRC. The rear pads were about 40 and the discs 13 each or something daft! Bear in mind I have standard GTi rears not the 256mm upgrade off the anniversary etc.

I'm confused, do you mean you should have gone 325mm instead of 312mm?

Im agreeing with Dan's comment that I should have gone 312mm over the 288mm I have just replaced. So disappointed in the 288mm brakes on the Golf Im going for 325mm and skipping the 312mm.

Ah yes i'm with you now lol!

Yeah i would love to go 325mm 4 pots but doubt i can afford if i'm honest. I worked it out that i can get EBC standard discs from Partsbuy for £20 each and the pads for £65 plus the carriers off ebay for £100ish brings me to under £200 for the lot. The cheapest Porsche 4 pots i have seen went for about £250 on ebay, then i need discs, carrier adapters and pads. Don't get me wrong its £500 well spent but i just can't justify it at the moment  :cry:
