312mm brakes
« on: 05 June 2011, 19:05 »
Just brought some 312mm brakes for my mk4 1.8t (callipers, carriers, new pads, flex hose) and i'll be buying the grooved and dimpled discs next week. Is there anything else that I need and is it a straight easy fit?

Dont bother with Grooved discs IMO - Get decent pads  :wink:

they dont really wear your pads much quicker.. and many many thousands of people run them without problems.. they may not do a lot but they look a heck of a load better than huge plain discs..

huge plain discs are better performance, less chance of cracking, better value for money. id rather have that lot over it looking better
