    Well, I was hoping to continue running QFM A1RM pads with my Polo after I do my upgrade to GTi front brakes but it turns out that they aren't available for the Polo GTi's front brake setup

    So I've just ordered a set of Remsa's too

    Update,
    I've had the discs on all round for over a week now, I must say, big improvement in the braking , feels much firmer under the foot and the car pulls up much shorter with the same foot pressure . I can't hear any change in noise what so ever, The stock VW setup is great and very well done, though you don't realize how soft it is until you do the upgrade.

    Brakes and sway bars all sorted... now the motor

    You need to provide GSL with some of the standard pad backing plates and they can sort getting pads on em. QFM don't do an off the shelf 9n3 A1RM but can "refurb" apparently.

    I have a set A1RM's for the red car as I thought the current Remsa pads were quite low, but swapping wheels the other day and comparing to the A1RM's, the remsa are at half life oh well, will swap them out when I run the new semi slicks in May

    Yeah, I discussed that with them yesterday but I decided to give the Remsa's a go first since they're so cheap and hopefully, the brake temps won't go so high with the larger rotors (until I get more power ). I was told it costs an extra $40 to get the old plates repadded which is still less than half the price for the equivalent Project Mu's

    But the upgrade is on hold anyway until I can get the brake pistons sorted

    Edit: Actually, I'll drop off some old pads that I got with the brakes to GSL to get repadded as QFM A1RMs when I'm up there at the end of the month

    People, noob question, these pads (GSL Rallysport - 0775.01 Remsa Brake Pads) say priced individually but the picture of the box says x4 - can someone confirm that $90 buys you the whole front, or is it just one front corner? Thanks.

    Full set / 4 pads = $90inc GST. It's a weird use of language - possibly a legal thing? Maybe they are saying if you buy a truck load you'll get a discount?

    Yeah, or maybe it's derived from a template they use for the discs, which do appear to be sold separately? Cheers.
