pieface Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 love it. Wheels are awesome. Whats your verdict on them discs? been looking into upgrading to them, but not much on the net about them, as in user reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerz Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) I had 280mm on front which were AMAZING! Got rid of brake fade very very well. The rears I changed disks and pads and then pretty much sold the car so cant really comment on how they were if Im honest. I used the logic that they look nice, the rears dont do much and they could only be better (bad logic really as They could be worse ) but I just fancyed them for looks. I have no idea whats on it now, as I pick her up on friday. Edited August 16, 2011 by Bikerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieface Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Is the 280mm kit the G60 conversion? Or are they bigger still?Mines a 1.4S, and I assume the GTi brakes are bigger?? Edited August 16, 2011 by pieface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerz Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 GTI and Sport are 256mm frontG60 are 280mm.Same calipers. There are 280mm kits with 4 pots (Wilwood etc..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieface Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Yeah, been looking at them. Trying to wipe the drool off my keyboard as we speak.Just out of interest, what set up does the 1.4S have? I'm wanting grooved and drilled set up and am currently looking into Willwood, only thing I dislike about them, the price Edited August 16, 2011 by pieface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikerz Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Willwood is cheapest Big brake kit your get! The Brembos on my TT are £800 for a pair of disks and £270 ish a set of pads for front! 239mm on the lesser models I belive buddy. Your need GTI/Sport hubs probally at least if you go for a big brake kit. The 280's will be plenty for you on a 1.4 Id imagine.Thanks Luce - I go to uni in Swansea so you might see her on the M4 from time to time (Friday & Sunday evenings at min).

BEP51 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 The De- Guttering was Done by Gearth (Well a body shop when he owned it)Any idea what he filled them in with? - lead? cos that part of the chassis gets lots of stretch and i may get mine smoothed out when i eventually get the rust in my roof sorted.
