Brakes
MaverickFSI:
Does anyone know what porker brakes fit the Mk5 platform and still get under the standard 18" pescy's?
Having trouble finding R32 front's, well not strictly true, but at a reasonable price that is;
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-MK5-R32-345MM-310MM-FRONT-REAR-BRAKE-CONVERSION-KIT-CALIPERS-CARRIERS-/270822231639?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f0e434e57 - Can't be right surely!?! I know that's for everything but if he broke and sold the front's separate, going by that valuation they'd be nudging 800 quid?!
Found a few others but still wanting 600+ quid.
Out of curiosity what is the going rate for a front R32 set up with & without discs & pads?
Cheers.

It would still be worth bidding up to what you are prepared to pay, you never know what could happen......

I have a topic running on the above brake kit, as a joke really because that price is absolutely ridiculous!!!! Clearly the seller is on cloud nine asking that money and also advertising them as Brembo....... :surprised:

Well he's definitely on something! Your thread was quite amusing, I expect he would of had numerous 'enthusiasts' contact him and politely inform him of the inaccurate description & comedy price tag, they're supposed to be VW dismantlers so you'd expect them to be a little more competitive in a widely available part perhaps?
I did think about watching them in eBay and as you say someone has got a bargain if all is legitament. I seem to be drawn to an OEM+ upgrade despite it's popularity but it's a proven solid step up from the ropey GTI set up.
Cheers mate.
