they are just cheap cheap discs, probably ok for day to day driving, to be honest i can get them for around that price with my trade discount, but like i say the cheapest of the cheapest most likely. id be tempted to spend a little more, but then i do drive hard so i need to be stopped hard  :shocked:

dont confuse vented with drilled

all front brakes on gti's are vented, even the standard ones.


I don't think a semi will give the same results

hi mate, if your car is a 16v, dont you need 256mm discs? I would steer clear of cheap discs as you will only need more in 6 months after they warp!!
