anyone upgraded brakes?

very nice

how much £ we talking?


have you tried the calliper metal bush kit? apparently it improves pedal feel but i can't find a UK supplier

No havn't tried the metal bush kit, iv'e seen that the Americans are pretty keen on it, it may improve the pedal feel but i cannot see how it makes them any better at stopping 

Got mine from here not cheap at £1600+vat

Try DaveB on the mk5 forum he builds specific brake kits at a very good price

Ferodo DS2500 pads are supposed to make the standard calipers better.  I for one am very disappointed with the GTI brakes, they lack feel and suffer from quite a lot of fade when pushed hard and that just on the road.  I can imagine on the track they must be even worse.

My brakes totally failed 3 times on track, and i mean pedal hitting the carpet at 140mph a few brown trouser moments to say the least 
Turned out to be a dodgy master cylinder, never happened on the road, but when they got hot i think the fluid must of been getting past the seals 
Now the APs give you so much confidence in braking.

Have a look on here or PM DaveB for some ideas or recommendations

6pots are a little extreme to be honest unless your running 500bhp. But Alcon do a 4 and a 6 pot version
 
Money no object?
 Its Alcon everytime

are mk5 and mk6 discs and pads the same?


anyone tried brembo max discs or tar-ox discs with the OEM caliper?
