    What size brakes are going on? I thought you must have been doing it to a GTI.
    Guessing it is not a GTI, but your upgrading to GTI brakes.
    Do TT 312mm fit on a GTI under stock wheels ?

    Hoyhoy.

    So we have to wait, OK Jason.
    Can you tell me how wide the new dics are , as I just cooked Ferodo's 3000's on a recent track day with standard dics, I was going fairly hard but didn't ride the brakes, it was on or off, Ferodo says that I have to take off the backing plate, so OK me do that next.
    P.S. Got a 1.15 flat at Wakefeild Park, me is happy with that.
    Hooroo.

    Eddy, not sure mate on thickness will have to check with guy who supplied them, as for first thoughts on everything well on the way back from a job in toowoomba took the back road and while i didnt give it much the one thing i did notice and i dont know y is it seems alot more composed, it is still firm with the coilovers but it doesnt seem to be jumping over the road as much each time it hits a bump like it used to. if some1 can explain y i am thinking this would be great brakes etc will get a good test saturday on drive to bundaberg will do a few roads near maleney etc

    Eddy, give the EBC yellows a go.

    I have them with the Martini fluid and aver 10 hot laps at Morgan Park, still no fade and no softening of the brake pedal at all.

    ok guys took the car for a good test run today (up nebo down glorious up mt mee then on to bundy) so all i can say is some1 should pickup kyle's s3 brakes he has for sale cause goddamn i am now relearning my stopping time and as for swaybars and bushes i cant believe how much more stable it is esp on bumps it just doesnt get thrown off line, its still firm with the coilovers but its not as jumpy.

    so can highly recommend all those mods and will be getting a 2nd persons opinion on it all soon as well
