big brakes

You could always swap over the RS4 brakes

Lol - yes, I have thought - but the Mrs wants to keep her Monzas! 

Swap the alloys as well

Then I'd also need the front and rear wings from the RS too - the alloys have an ET of 29!

FWIW, I had Alcon/Prodrives on my Scooby. VERY impressive. Haven't felt the need to put them on my Golf as I'm running stock at present.

Another vote for Alcon

Thanks - so is your GTI remaped or standard?

And where to get Alcons from? 


And does anyone have experience of the MovIt stuff?  I'm teetering between the Alcon or the MovIt ceramics - don't mind being a 'mule' for the first GTI with ceramics, but I do need to get some general MovIt feedback beforehand.

As my mum would say "if you didnt drive so fast you wouldnt need bigger/better brakes"

Tell her she can walk the next time then! 


Can't believe no one has any info on the MovIts though - serious German quality . . . .

My GTI is standard - the Alcons were part of the Prodrive kit for the Subaru.

OK, thanks Dano

I'll vouch for the alcons too, i had them on my integrale, they were superb, expensive but well worth it.

Sooooo, does anyone know if any other PQ35 platform car had 310x22 at the rears, but with just a plain anodised silver caliper, rather than the blue R32 or black S3 affairs, and preferably with the 41mm dia piston, rather than the GTIs standard 38mm dia.

Doesnt the 3.2 A3 have the same setup as the S3 but the calipers are unpainted?
