312mm brake upgrade just a quick q
« on: 04 February 2013, 13:57 »
just wondering of the calipers are exactly the same as i know the pads are the same size... just didnt know if the calipers looked more chunky as im gonna swap some over soon and didnt know if it is worth swapping the calipers too  :undecided:

(will be putting mine back on to the donor car so are they as easaly swappable as that???)

sweet so also just use what ever pads have more life? or just get new disks and pads?

(just made a call vw want £98 each, local factors want £26 each is it really gonna matter for the miles i do which ones i get??)

Why not get a set of upgraded pads while they're off for peace of mind that they're going to last and stop you effectively?

Yep always worth considering uprated pads, its down to personal opinion and driving style but you know.. the genuine VW pads are actually decent  :cool:
