My brother had ebay drilled and grooved with yellow stuff pads on his E30 325, and it could litterally stop from ~130 inbetween the 300--200 marks coming up to roundabouts, and i mean dead stop, you just need the tyres to hold grip otherwise they just lock up. And they still on it now after it's been sat there for 3 years  :grin: (they were being used for like 6 months)

Are you using them with standard discs? How do they perform compared to standard pads?

Best brakes ive used which arnt 'Proper Brakes' is the 312mm SETUP from the Leons/ Probs anni golfs? TT's etc... I ran this setup with standard discs and pads on my old Ibiza (mapped diesel)... apsolutely immense braking power (i will upgrade the golf to this when the discs go) Its worth every penny.

You could late brake all day long and still stop before all the other cars. 130 - 0 was stupidly quick for a standard brake setup.

Just my 2 pence :)

(IMHO the standard brakes on the golf GTI are poo as the cars to heavy... but they do the job i guess), better than my corrados lol!
