Is that a question, or a statement?

If you need them you want to be running big power, or you just need to learn how to drive properly...

SO...what MK2 have you got?

Unless you bought your MK2 from a  Paramount Pictures "Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen"  fire sale, I doubt you'll be going fast enough to justify them Brembos.

There are a lot of things I'd rather spend £300 + on

Its a statement......

And its just something i have come across which i am now selling to fund some willwoods. as you have to run a 16inch rim to allow for the 305mm discs. currently running 15s an would rather keep my alloys.
For what few mk2 golfs i have seen with brembos i do think there a nice touch, but of course we all got our own opinion!

£300 Plus New Discs, Plus New Hoses, Plus 16" Alloys, Plus 16" Treads...  About a Grand when you finish and for what...... Fancy red calipers that you will never use to there full potental even if circuit racing....

Look Good Thoo Fella... maybe better offering them to Mk4 guys...

whats the point in selling out the dosh for willwoods on a mk2 anyway. 

you can get 4 x 100  288mm with twin pot calipers  and you only have to go outside of the vag parts bin for the disk.

the twin pot audi calipers weigh roughly the same as the moon

i have a set of mazda 4 pot ally calipers here that weigh slightly less than half of the g60 ones, so i imagine the wilwoods would be slightly less than that.

imagine the mess in his trousers thomas would make over that unsprung weight loss
