You didn't share your thoughts about the new brake setup performance. :wink:

Looks great :drinking:
Just did the hubs on mine a couple of weeks ago, makes some difference to the overall look of the car!
Nice location for the pictures too :happy2:

Looks awesome!
Out of curiosity how much did you sell the BBS for? I would have loved to have taken them off your hands!

Thanks guys!
True - I didn't actually talk about the brake setup! In a word: epic.
They just feel so strong, with amazing bite. They inspire a lot of confidence, whereas the OEM brakes did the opposite! I'd have to say they actually feel more powerful than the brakes on my RS4 - although they obviously are trying to stop a much heavier car, and the pads take some time to warm up.
If I compare to the RS- the new GTi setup does take a little getting used to; the RS4 brakes are more progressive and the first couple of times I apply the brakes in the GTi, I find myself stopping a lot quicker than I meant to!
All in all though, it really pulls together the whole driving experience of the GTi, and was the one area that was really lacking before. It's a hoot to drive now.

Thanks!
They went for £650 for a quick sale, as they are (without refurb) and collected. I could have got more, but then would have had the hassle of getting the kerbing fixed, putting up an ad, and possibly posting them. Went to a guy on audisport that had a wanted ad up for 18" BBS wheels.
