MK3 Brake effectiveness

Hi John, Are you still selling the yellow demon? Probably should catch up soon for a coffee.

Every time I drive a Mk3, I'm amazed at how good the stock brakes are. If I owned one, I'd say probably the best bang-for-buck upgrade would be two-piece rotors on the standard caliper. I don't know what the standard MQB 340mm rotor weighs, but the PQ35 345mm (Mk5 R32/Mk6R/S3) rotor is 12.5kg! Big weight savings to be had.
If you're adamant about doing a big brake kit though, be sure to grab a kit designed for a Mk7 Golf R, as your front brakes and the 7R's are the same part.
(Also, post pics! )

These discs on my Mk2 are 15mm larger than the Mk3 vRS stock brakes.

If your looking at upgrading I think this would be your best choice other than going a big brake kit...

All good and well... But I need the top hats... So just refunded and got the non slotted rotors... One piece with hats!!!

Took the car on the track last week and was pushing the car hard and braking very hard / late down the front straight into the first corner (spectators said my abs warning tail lights were often flashing) not once during the session did I notice any sort of brake fade, pedal vagueness or he abs kick in
Lots of dust and a blue tinge to the rotors for a few days after but otherwise faultless
