Are they 330mm discs Hurdy? I got some quotes on the three different tarox kits. 320mm with 6pots, 320mm with 10pots and 330mm with 10pots. Incidently the 320/10pots cost a little bit more than the 330/10pots. The price i got for the 330/10pots were a smidgen over £1700. I could haggle abit more, but since you say it should cost £1995, then my initial price seems like a bargain anyway.
But isn't 10pots abit overkill for a light(ish) hatch like the GTI?

Iv also been looking at some bigger brake calipers...should be fun to have around Gib...went over to la linea today (Spain) to a few car garages n stuff and none of them can bring in Tarox brakes....Any one know any websites were i could order some? Im looking at 10 or 12 pots depending on the monies and could any one recommend a disc size too? I dont really want to change the rim to 19"s just to fit some brakes  :smiley:

....Very much so!! And according to a senior race engineer I know who has 30 years experience in brake technology including F1 and NASCAR. Vehicle weight was the reason he gave too regarding the Mk5 GTI. But it looks good and sounds good in the pub too.
