Title: Brake caliper bushes
Post by: colesey on May 11, 2018, 10:43:23 am
Looks like Tyrol Sport but a fair bit cheaper. Good enough for @the bruce (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2691) so I suspect they are high quality

The Humble Mechanic (youtube) stuck some of the tyrol ones onto his MK4 R32 recently and judging by his comments, it's not a night/day improvement.  Fitment quality wasn't brilliant either, but was blamed on slight differences in the ironwork castings from the factory. I suspect VAG made them the way they did for a reason, but what the reason is, I'm not sure  :grin:
