Bruce' black one: airbase & AutoX pics
the bruce:
Volkswagen never made the GTI with them. These Monzas are Italian
made replicas (8x19 45) and very popular in Germany.
I will sell them though. They look stunning, but they are quite heavy.
:wink:

Nice one bruce!
One question: are the brake good enough for circuit use (I had GTI brakes and they seemed a little bit too small and I have less bhp and kg than you)?
the bruce:
Too small for GP circuits, but I hope strong enough for
autocross and Nordschleife.
With a set of RS4-2, RS19, PFC01, PFC97 or MX-72 it
should perform quite sufficient.
Furthermore I don't feel I am good enough to brake
Ring records. I don't have much routine on the Ring.

I have RS 4-2 on my AP Racing PRO 5000+ and they are quiet and have very good initial bite (even at -5deg) but while hard braking they are far from the Carbotechs I had on my S3/R32 brakes. Even Pagid says they are better suited for use on rear brakes to complement RS19 or 29 on the front brakes. RS19 and 29 are endurance pads with medium friction, much better than 4-2 but still weaker than Carbotech. However, I've heard a set of RS29 while very expensive, lasted an entire 24h race on very powerfull racecars (like DTM or lemans) so on our cars they should do for like 10 trackdays wich is 2-3 times more than Carbotech. The RS14 & 15 are Pagid's highest friction compounds to be used where high disc temps are expected or one needs very high brake torque
Some friction comparison :

Too bad the RS29 are ~350 Pounds for the GTI caliper. :sad1:
