matt123roll Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Pretty sure a GTi rear beam will go straight on and give you discs on the rear, someone else will be able to confirm. You're not going to need massive brakes for a 1.4 and you could easily get away with drums on the rear suppose it depends on what you want to do and what you want to spend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ N Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Ive switched from gti to the g60 upgrade and noticed a massive improvment so i guess you could go down that road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 if its just a sport lump you could leave that standard disks on.you can put 280mm brakes on... but your then Very restricted with wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blister Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 only a 1.4 mate the standard discs upfront and drums on the back would easily stop that! Trust me i had 190bhp from my old turbo mini and it stopped fine with th right discs and pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
