I have recently had S3 brakes fitted to the car, much improved brakes, :happy2: these should have been standard on edition 30 if ask me :scared:. I want get rears fitted next week, i have heard alot mixed opinions on getting rears done ( ie wasteing my time wont notice any difference ) anybody give me advice on this. Also has anyone managed to get dust guards to fit mk5??

After fitting r32 front brakes to my tdI,Ifitted the rears and found they made a difference.Also got the dust shields to fit except one screw hole didn't line up on the rear

Bought my S3 set up off TfsiMike on here.
Due to a slight mishap with my 4 pot front set up (brakeline fittings) I ran for about a week with worn 312 fronts and the 310 mm S3 rears.
I reckon it's a really great upgrade to fit the rears.
Hard to describe, but in my view it's a bit like there's someone tugging on the back of your teeshirt when braking.
Obviously when then combined with a good front set up, you stop better and with greater control.

I bought a set around a year ago from VWGav , They were serviced and repainted by Daveb then fitted with new vented disks they look much better and I feel there is improvement to the breaking of my ed30 it seamed the right thing to do after fitting 345mm on the front .The std rear splash guards can just be eased back a little to let them fit.
