golf mk3 cl brakes

[imamosher]

Well my brakes are feeling spongy and stopping distance is about the same as the titanic at the moment so i'm thinking its time for new brakes....I have no idea how much this is going to cost tbh im in the process of moving and money is super tight so need something on a budget but obv needs to be an improvement on what i've got right now.  so if anyone could send a link for somewhere i can buy the brakes from that would be much help

thanks

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

NEXT JOKE bradley.

Yeah, it will find the parts, type in mels polo reg, brings up 3 different sets of pads, all different sizes by about 5mm.

And 2 different sets of discs, vented and solid. Easy to see we need vented, not solid.

But the pads........ no chance, will have to match them up in the shop.

It done this when i tried to find this guys pads and discs. Be VERY careful what pads u buy, it will say they are the same price, and for your car, but if you look, it will list a few different ones for the same price, and the dimensions are different by a bit. And will cause them not to fit right.

ECP website is crap - FACT

the polo is crap!! 

the golf on year and engine has 1 set of solid discs and pads  (although it will give 3 different sets depending on brand)

Scrap dealer, take the whole unit from a GTI , prime breaking then ( how i dream about 288mm disks and ABS, its not the best ABS but its ABS).

Im in the same boat, my brakes are crud so i have invested in new 10mm brembo solids (grabs drill hehe).

In terms of ECP i found them useless, they didnt have a clue what pads i needed (correct size(not hard)) so i went straight to my reliable old friends at GSF
