I like the thinking. Brembos are good. I want some 4pot callipers eventually

Well i was just reading on clubgti and a thread from last year on here.. I just think they look good compared to the 1pot calipers.. They should in theory have better braking.. better choice of pads.. could run a 305mm disc like the ibiza cupra.. Just think it may be a viable option as buying all the G60 hubs and discs pads etc is going to set me back atleast £200

You could buy a brand new set of 280mm calipers and carriers etc for £200.  :lipsrsealed:

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.
