As mike says the weight also makes a positive difference to the feel of the car  :happy2:

I'm really looking forward to fitting my pagid blues, Jhooks and ate racing fluid !

vRSAlex:
Or how about the FBBK (fairly big brake kit(I made that up BTW)) which is the 345mm discs with either the db9 or r8 rear caliper?  Dave does brackets.

R8 has the better piston size for the master cylinder and the db9 really needs the master cylinder upgrade.  It's hard to find the calipers though.

Phil Miller:
sorry if i sound silly but do the porker calipers bolt straight on to the hub and are the GTI 312mm discs able to be used? also do the standard golf brake hoses fit without having to change them?

Tfsi_Mike:

Not sure about hoses as HEL Hoses came with my kit but a fitting kit is required and available from DaveB1970.

Have you read the NQS BBK with install pics thread?  :happy2:
