Dag nammit,

any thoughts

Go oem. You staying 4 stud go 280

OEM calipers are better than Wilwoods anyway

Oem huh, as in the girlings? I managed to source a 22mm master cyl. as well so im set i just need some nice brakes. Yer im after 280mm corrado discs and then some form of caliper

I have a strong feeling that willwoods won't make the grade for road use here

Girling 60's twin pots are the go with a 24-25mm master cylinder

Hey Valver, I am curious, what is wrong with Wilwoods (beside the dust seals). I know you have referred to them as 'show' brakes, is that due to maintenance or performance issues?

[gldgti]

dont ofrget the SEAT Cupra 16V disks and calipers are 280mm and bolt on aswell

[Golf Loon]

Yeah I have a set of the cupra carriers and calipers Tommy. You could keep it 4 stud and still have awesome brakes.

[tommymac]

ah so many choices! i have a 22 mm master cyl so thats a start!

Willwoods are a no go now

ECS porsche brakes won't fit under my 15'' BBS

AP racing won't either

so that leaves me with the G60 or Ibiza Cupra brakes, I thought these where brembo 4 pots that ran a 12.3 inch disc ? or is that just the Cupra R ? Which again would not fit under a 15'' wheel or am i wrong?

A 22mm master cylinder will improve your pedal feel to start with
You can the put on the mk3 hubs with the 256mm rotor which will take the cupra or girling 60 carrier/calliper if you are still not happy with the 256mm

There are all sorts of rotors & pads for the 256mm brakes, which should give you heaps more stop than standard
