So will this VW Golf brakes - made for Mk4 will fit into Mk3. As far as i understand thaere not many difrences with standard brake. I want to have some fun with my GTI on track, and i need to changed braking pads even without this. I aa thinking that maybe this Alcon brakes would be nice, but maybe You can advice me something more efficient (Shiped from somewhere in EU pls)?
