Rear Brake Pad Upgrades....
DaveB@Vagbremtechnic:
Yeh sorry mate, they started putting S4 on them after they went B7. Just done some GT40 fronts onto a B6 S4 and they looked like scruffy R32 unpainted calipers

DaveB1970 - good stuff about the master cylinders. Are they easy to change?
As I'm looking to upgrade the rear brakes with the ones from the Seat Cupra, I might as well do the master cylinders from the R32.
Are there two separate master cylinders, front and rear?
Presumably, the Seat's rear brake kit will be a straight fit on the GTi?
Part numbers for all this would be very helpful... Many thanks in advance.

Back on the subject of rear brake pad upgrades, inspection of mine shows that whereas I wore my front DS2500's almost to the metal there is still loads of pad thickness on my rears, so I shan't be putting new pads on yet.
Any rear end 'twitchiness' I've experienced under harder driving is most definitely the ESP kicking in but I've found that it's best to ignore and drive through it, taking it on board as feedback information.
Hurdy:
If there is so much difference with the pad wear, do you think that you could get VWR or JKM to alter the brake bias to give more bite at the rear?

....Is this done via software? If so, then Keith at JKM would be best to do it.
