Pics and a brake question
« on: 07 April 2006, 15:06 »
Got some springs on yesterday and while it was there had the front pads changed...  The pads had worn out totally on the inside pad of each side and hardly at all on the outside pad. My mechanic guy reckoned it was the sliders and other bits all siezed up but i didn't really knwo what he was on about.

Can anyone shed any light on this?  He was saying there is a repair kit available although i maybe just as well to get a couple of recon calipers.  Any advice please?

And some pics with the -35mm springs on. Loving the handling although i can still get it to bottom out on our stoooopid roads round here. The winter hasn't been kind so need some bits of paint doing and the wheels need a damn good clean lol!





Light was in the wrong place for this one but i couldn't be assed to turn the car round  :embarassed:


And finally - no the rear wiper isn't going flat!  :laugh:

VW sell the kit, it depends if you can be bothered to refurb em really!

BTW the GTI grill badge is too high ;)
