Brake upgrade

[RichardBaronGolf]

Is there any company that does a complete brake upgrade for a mk3 gti? Like a package

I'm thinking a full set like calipers, discs and pads? Maybe even brake lines.

Brembo? Anyone know of something like this?

For the cost not really worth it http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/framefixsbc.asp?page=3&make=VW&model=Golf%20Mk3&ProdGroup=Performance%20Brakes&ProdSubGroup=Brake%20Kits

Do you have the 288mm brakes. A set of good disc's and good pads should be enough for a mk3. I never got fade with mine.

Failing that you can get porsche brembo calipers and adaptors to fit a mk3 golf.

But just the adaptors will cost £140

I see your having a 1.8t conversion in march? are you going to track the car? as the standard 288 in good order are plenty good enough for the road if not.

I may take the car to a track day not decided, it is going to be mapped to around 300bhp once run in.

Having a BAM engine fully rebuilt with forged internals and also a gearbox rebuild and turbo rebuild.

At the moment I'm preparing the car for this kind of power, I have the larger discs which only a couple
Of months old as are the pads but the calipers are knackered.

What do you'd think is the best way to go?

Thank you

312mm carriers with the current 288mm calipers and decent pads and discs should be more than sufficient tbh.

yeh iv got a mk3 with a bam and my calipers were refurbed before i got it so are in good condition and iv got good discs and ferodo ds2500 pads the only thing that i need to do is change the fluid to something like motul rf600 as the fluid thats in there isnt the best especially after the bedding in process  but they are awesome brakes that stick your face to the windscreen if you push too hard

I can do you a V-maxx 4pot kit 330mm kit without hoses for £950 and an extra £50 for hoses if needed (I am an official V-Maxx dealer  )

or I can sort you a set for 312mm (with carriers, brembo/mintex/ate branded discs and pads and can sort calipers if needed although 288's are said to work fine) all you need is some washers/spacers 

[RichardBaronGolf]

I think for now I'll have the callipers refurbed, and get some decent pads and a decent brake fluid see how I go with that 

Forever young Ill post some pictures when it's done in March, I'll consider a kit but at the moment it's hard enough saving the last bit I need for the conversion !

A lot has changed on the car recently but haven't taken any pictures to upload on my project thread I try get some snaps on New Year's Eve 

Also have some spax collies and staggered Porsche tele dials on the way

If your going for the 1.8t route I would look at running 312mm setup but you will need 16" wheels.
