:ashamed: you might have a point :wink:.
considering my last car was a mental 300bhp impreza sti, i still think the standard gti brakes, for the standard power output arent that bad to be honest. mind you i havent used them in anger yet, but they do the job.

I just think there is very little power in them even for a standard GTI, yea sure i can lock them up but the effort you need to put in is far to much if you are caught unaware, also because you need to apply so much pressure to the pedal on the standard setup this takes away quite a bit of feel and i think it makes for quite loose and unpredictable braking, the bigger S3, r32, cupra set up is pretty powerful and didnt really loose anything power wise to the 4 pot APs i had, although the stroke and progressive pedal feel of the APs were perfect,

might have to use them in anger and see then. thanks for your insight.
