Sorry for the short question thread but I've searched quite a bit and can't find an answer. Are chips such as GIAC and techtonics bought from the US compatible with our vr's here?


thanks

Actually, I'll use this chance to ask a few more questions.

I had fading brakes last year, pedal had to travel far and had no bite so I machined the discs and got some deluxe brake pads. Within a few months they started to squeal realllll bad, like ear piercing bad, and it only happened for the first few stops. I think it's just a combination of glazed pads and rust forming on the discs. This is only the front btw. Looking to spend 400-600 for a good upgrade.

1. Would a good choice be going with slotted discs (less heat, less glazing, right?), fresh pads and new brake lines? (slotted or drilled? ceramic pads? brands to stay away from?)
2. If the discs I get are still 280mm, would new calipers be unnecessary?
3. How important is it to beef up the rear as well, should I bother?
