 have you a number mustard that sounds just wot I need , cheers neil

i ran the DaveB boxter set up and was superb and so much pad choice, just waiting for them to come back from him following a refurb, pedal feel was awesome

people go all out for disc size when for the road no need and these are good enough for a bit of track action with care

The part numbers of the calipers are:986.351.421 and 986.351.422, as standard they are black so if you want them red you need to have them stripped and painted/powder coated.

Agree with Wigit, they are superb, more than adequate even with modified car.

Plenty of information in this thread: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=7u16g2a6llgnvc539gsglsquu1&topic=13985.0

if you go Boxster you need the black ones and not the factory red off a Boxster S as these don't fit
