@Shoduchi good to see some 18z brakes with non-drilled disks. I'm about to put this brake setup on my 4Motion and got non-drilled, but was wondering if I should have gone with the drilled, purely for the looks, but guess we get a bit more surface area without :wink:
How do you find them and the pedal feel compared to OEM?

I also fitted the R32 rear brake setup that has bigger pistons. With my 23,8 mm3 MC works really well with the setup. I've done a track day and I can't fault the brakes. It has a great pedal feel. The car stops better than accelerates. :happy2:
Just check if your MC shows a 23 or a 22 in the outside. Older mk5 GTIs received the 22 mm3 MC instead of the bigger version (on later GTIs and all R32).

How much did the entire front brake setup cost you mate? Calipers, discs, pads, mountings the lot.
