That's a very good question. I am awaiting VWR to restock their big brake kit. I do believe a 330mm 4 pot kit at the front is adequate, but an AP or Brembo 4 pot kit is not much cheaper than VWR 352mm 6 pot kit. So I figured if they have been designed for the VW GTi and have adjusted piston sizes so no need to consider brake bias then it makes sense
I personally would not want R32 as they are monumentally heavy, a good size disc but still single pot and heavy...
Plenty of guys are way more knowledgeable on Big brakes than me. If I was a perfectionist I would go 6 pot brembo F and something like S3 rear, but very, very expensive
heady2010:
do r32 front discs and pads fit right on to the gti's?
liver:
yeah with the calipers obviously just need different brake lines and splash guards
