Oh, I should have added you don't need more than 4-pots unless you drive like Hurdy! :evilgrin:

I'm sure I don't know what you mean :innocent:
Should help control those 400+ horsies when they arrive eh!
Sorry.....off topic (again :ashamed:)
TAROX do other set-ups too. The 6 pots would be spot on for the GTI. :notworthy:

Hi guys thanx for the speedy replies - I am not into any real modifications just like to drive!
This may be a silly question but would you see any real difference in brake feel or performance by just changing out the OEM brake pads to something like Ferrodo DS2500?
Thank -you again for your help.

What's the crack with fitting say, the brakes from an S3? Is it just a case of finding a set at a breakers and fitting them or is it loads more complicated than that? What parts need changing etc.
What could I expect to pay for something like that too?

they are similar but not the same, they look very different, but bassically do the same job, ie same pads and discs.
you need the calipers inc carriers and discs and hoses for the front and its a straight swap, i used the dust guards too but ive heard you can use the gti front ones but you need the guards for the rear, but not the hoses for the rear
