Just did the same after speaking with Matt at GSL. His opinion that given the weight of the polo, even with lots of track work that the remsa's will be sufficient. Will get the front rotors machined and pad scuffed (as I currently have remsa on front), new slotted rear rotors and remsa pads. Will go Super Dot 4 fluid (something like a 340c boiling temp as opposed to 310 from normal dot 4) and will order HEL braided lines. Much cheaper to order the lines direct from HEL in the uk.

If this doesn't deliver, than I'll order the A1RM pads for the front. Give the lack of brake feel I'm getting, Matt suggested it's likely the result of having boiled the fluid rather than cooking the pads. I'll know in a few weeks once it arrives and get it fitted.

After bedding in the Remsa's am very happy. Brake performance is MUCH better from initial bite (which was non-existent with OEM pads) to stopping distance, feel, and repeated application. Recommended, as is the service from Greg at GSL.
