Might be of interest...a bit expensive though. I'd like to have a spare wedge sitting around so I could try these....

Awesome brakes...

On that same site they offer a rear end exhaust for the MK VI ...larger dia...better sound....5 BHP....all this for 380 pound...
Anybody out there experience with this...it does seem a nice cheap offer if all is true... :cool:

Ill be getting Tarox disc and pads all round next month, from what I've read and heard they are meant to be very good.

Whilst were on this topic would fitting better pads make a difference or do you need to upgrade the discs/calipers to notice some gains

Shameless plug, check the link in my signature  :tongue:

The R32's are a good fast road upgrade but add lots of weight, another option is the Porker Boxer S brakes with custom carriers.

Have a look here for more details on the porkers - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,13985.0.html

just do the MK5 R32/ MK6 Golf R conversion with some better pads. Front conversion is more than suffice.

I am going to be adding the full set of front and rear Porsche Cayenne brakes, using the kit linked and Dodge Viper rear parking calipers... and I am just missing the rotors now. Before installation, just need to sandblast and paint the calipers the proper shade of red.

Definitely looking forward to much better brakes before I go to the track.  Though I wish I could do a lap of the 'Ring like you Europeans get to do :laugh:
