We've meandered a bit off topic [Cool split-off, Steve] :happy2:..........
...........but more pots = bigger pads = much more expensive.
I'm not saying that AP Racing's 4-pots for the GTI are way and above better than anyone else's but I will go as far as saying that, for the GTI for Fast Road use, they are absolutely faultless and stunningly effective!
I'm about to find out how expensive some new DS2500 pads for them are.

if it was me i would get the AP's, i had the same setup as the R32 on my last car and i upgraded that :happy2:

Im also upgrading in the New year and im thinking along the lines of R32 calipers with cross drilled discs and upgraded fast road use pads.
I think this will be effective without costing the earth.
Dirty Five:
I was thinking about brakes, would RS4 discs and toureg 6 pots work with custom carriers? :jumping:
