what power you running golfyste

Not much at the mo think about 180, don't think I have a very good map as it only boost to about 10 psi then holds at 8psi but has defiantly been mapped by the previous owner. Lately got the the intercooler on, and just bought a k04-001, got bigger injectors to put on and walbro pump, and a few other bits then off to r tech hoping for about 260ish hP and 270-280 ftlb 

then them brakes will come in handy when you start pushing the ko4 power 

Yeah that's the plan, got a rear arb and gettin coilovers next month, just wanna make sure the stopping power/handling is up to scratch.

Some nice stopping power above i bet

It is a lot better then standard haha 

Nice brake set ups there ^^^^   

Cheers mate can't wait to get the matchin rears on 
I do like mine but I love the look of rockmonkeys' callipers behind those wheels 

Both look great  

What size are the rears?

They're 288's 
Just gotta find the time to  clean them up and paint them and then fit then haha 

Thanks buddy, I always pick my competition on the track by their brake setups lol too often brakes are under-rated, but I'm sure you've found out before they are a life saver if you misjudged an entry speed to a corner.

288mm rear sounds good, I thought about upgrading the rear on mine as I still have the standard 232mm rear, but I haven't decided what setup to go for yet. I like the looks of the dual caliper rear setups but I still have a large shopping list before I look at the rear brakes. Let me know how the braking balance is after you upgrade your rear setup

It's a bit more expensive than I would like to spend on my rear brake setup but they are 330mm and look nice. I don't remember them being As expensive as it is though
