Any idea how much these parts would come to in Dealers ? North/ South

 

keep on eye on classifed - they come up a fair bit as they were on 225 TT's as well

UKMKiv classifeds generally has a set or 2 also.

I not 100% but i think you just need caliper carriers and the bigger disks. The calipers are the same.
That said there were 2 caliper versions IIRC a lucas one and another type

 

I wouldnt do dealers.....huge bucks....breakers yards for the carriers and some performance pads and disks off t'internet

 

the caliper carriers were circa £100 from vagparts when they were in business

 

I'd get a good price in P and R Newry. A guy on uk-mkivs fitted non oem discs and they were rubbish

 

what disks Rob?

THere's a plethora of non oem options out there. Of the shelf shit and good stuff

 

Suppose if you go for some chineese crap

 

put some brembo disc on rob,i had them on my 312's on the van they were great,you can get some of bager5 that a cross drilled too,ment to be the dogs. OE disc are okay nothing great,as for pads theres so many to chose from, Pagid blue, EBC yellows, ferodo, brembo....etc etc etc

 

The guy name is Patch on uk-mkivs. I'll have to have a look at what he fitted but he was dissapointed

 

I put brembo grooved and dimpled discs and hawk pads on mine when I upgraded.

You can buy a 312mm kit from a TT on ebay for about £320 delivered but it includes callipers.

 

Razor where woluld i buy a brembo disk? ferodo i have read are very good. This yoke or mine has to stop better before a visit to Joe

 

yea throw up the link man,i had EBC drilled and grooved on my VRS and brembos on the TDI and they were both far better then OEM

 

The OEM discs and pads are 100% competent up to about 220/230 Rob the max you are going to be running is 130 plus a remap i.e 170 so keep the costs done and keep it OEM.

 

its never a bad thing to uprate ur breaks though man

This i know,but for general road use the are more than capable.

 

Another vote for EBC grooved and dimpled, i matched mine with green stuff pads. I think i demonstrated their stopping power when you had my car on vagcom?

He is running at 130 already before the map

I meant 130 plus a remap i.e 170 odd -- check the edit

Jumped the gun.. my bad, didnt see the edit!!

 

288 rob

I went down the upgrade route instead of larger discs. Better again as was said bigger and upgraded would be a great job I would say?
