« on: 29 March 2006, 16:24 »
are the R32 front brakes significantly better than the GTI's?

and do they bolt straight onto the gti also?

Not sure, but you can get the 312mm disc/carrier upgrade (from Anni's, Leon CR's, S3 etc) on ebay for £295. Check out my thread on brake upgrade. :wink:

They'll be either that size, or bigger. Either way, you may need bigger wheels, too!!?? :undecided:

CORRECTION - That kit on ebay is £275, & not £295 like I said earlier!

By my reckoning, Ant, the R32's run 312mm x 25mm thick. :wink:

Nice wheels. :cool:

Yeah, they should fit no probs.

That's a good price for the brakes. Is that discs/pads/carriers, all included?

Where'd you get those, then? :smiley:

been offered the whole set, front and rear for £300 or £175 for just the fronts, yea everything included...

to be honest mate, i havent got the money to buy them at the mo so if you interested ill give you the persons email if you want them...

my mods this month are my mkIV's stickers and ive found my humbrol tinting spray so gonna tint the middle portion of my rear lights a bit more than it is now... then blow over the whole light i think so its all slightly darker..

and tint my side repeaters too ...

Am tempted, but to be honest, I haven't got the cash either. I've just bought some front discs & pads & some Montreal 2 alloys, & next month I need a major service (40k) & an MoT.

If only these had turned up about 2 weeks ago!  :doh:  :grin:
