you'll have to give me an update on your car, not seen what you've done to it for a while...

I wish I'd had the spare cash when you were selling the Leon wheels, would have liked them  :sad:

totally different league to be honest and the pads cost more than the MK4 did new lol

BUT i would go as far to say with the 355mm front and 284mm rears all sucking on DS2500 pads it is the BEST set of brakes EVER fitted to a MK4 golf and it can hold it's own corner for corner with almost ZERO fade no matter how hard you push them.
I have had the fronts so hot it vaporised the ATE super blue that was causing through it's vain  :shocked:
