Brake upgrade question.
pudding:
/\ Same. Running stage2 ED30 with standard brakes and not found them lacking for road use.
Braking from 100ish on a downhill dual-carriageway exit is about the only time I've felt they were a little lacking, but that accounts for about 1% of my daily driving.
My only gripe about the brakes is the inconsistent pedal feel. Sometimes they feel super grabby and other times they need a firmer push. Vacuum pump on it's way out maybe?

R32/S3 brakes are sharper. Brembos are even better.
Ed. 30 share the same brakes with the GTI.

Thanks Shoduchi. thought they were the same lol
I guess we need better braking for when driving like loonies or track days and heavy braking.
Brembo's are decent as I had them on my tt.
Out of the three sets, which weigh the heaviest???.

What pads are they? If they are other than OE and have a specific bedding in procedure as performance pads often do, repeat the procedure and see what happens.
How old is your fluid? Has it always been changed on time?
Have you done a track day on them? You may have boiled the fluid and introduced bubbles.
I'd bet on one or more of the above before a brake servo.

Exactly what I thought but wanted a second opinion. My old LCR Brembo's felt a lot lighter then the oem ones but the discs were very heavy as they were 323mm but nothing compared to what gti owners are fitting. :happy2:
