th3_f15t:
If anything, decent pads and stainless steel lines are all I'll upgrade just to give it a bit more of a solid feel to the pedal. If I can be bothered or feel it really needs it I'll upgrade to H&R anti roll bars rather than any damper or springs as ARB make more of a difference than coilovers in my experience.

Nice all arounder! :happy2:

Don't listen to this, they come alive at S2+ :grin:
Would recommend doing the brakes though, that's whats gonig to be next for mine.

It's one of the first things I'll upgrade on the Golf R. Plans for stage one are EBD discs and red stuff pads front and rear, although tempted to buy a proper kit with 2 peice discs and 4 piston calipers up front. Forge do a front and rear set so may go down that route...

Noooo EBC disks are sh1te :sick:
Save up for the proper BBK like Hurdys or Mandys :happy2:

Ah, it was EBC that has crap discs, I think the pads are OK now as AKS use them a fair bit. I'll at least get pads for the short term for stage 1, I'd like some grooved discs to help keep the pads worn evenly and keep them cleaner. And they look cool. :party:
