    Guys...any idea a set of golf R mk6 bbk will do any good as an upgrade to our current brakes?
    Golf R : 345mm x 30 front , 310mm x 23 rear
    Tiguan Stock brakes : 312mm front , 286mm rear
    I were quoted aud2000 for a set of Golf R front & rear BBK incl of s/steel braided hose,rotors n calipers with pads...
    A set of Forge of Brembo would cost me Aud2500 just for the front pair...any thoughts?
    FYI...i dont put my car on track..just spirited driving occasionally..

    Gary, i reckon the brakes on our Tig's are pretty damned good stock & more than suitable for most highly spirited driving situations... If i HAD to spend a few thou on mod's, would go for an exhaust system & a set of narrow flares for the wheel arches!

    Happy modding! ps, maybe get your calipers painted!

    Thanx MGV for d feedback...after hearing what u said,i reckon if i were to spend some cash on mods at d moment,i probably will upgrade all my brake hoses to good ones and on better brake fluids as suggested by our mate in this forum. and of coz better brake pads too...cheers!!

    I have also been thinking of the R brakes! More of the cool factor than anything else I must admit! Yes I agree the brakes on the Tiguan isn't too bad at all! But I am sooooooo over the bloody brake dust. It just take a few days after washing for the dust to appear again!

    I have been looking at brake pads too. Might actually take up Greg's (from GSLRally) on some good pads. but I'm banging myself for missing the 50% off the pads. Rrrrrr.....

    After further research n ask around with guys on R brakes....all good reviews n thumbs up on the R's bbk...never fail in any conditions...no squeeking noise or need any run in,well balance front n back setups without any nose-dive scenario....pads are easy to source n price reasonable too...will b my next upgrade in my mod list...cheers!!

    Fair enough Gary. just another choice I guess? u could prbly ask if u can order w/o installation costs and just parts only. Perhaps cheaper for u that way since Msia's installation prbly cheaper than Sg.
