Im amazed most peoples opinion is that the standard 256mm brakes arn't up to the jobCymruPolo wrote:I have to agree. The standard ones aren't very good, they're better than the ones I had on my MK4 though. I drove my mum's 06 Ford Focus and the breakes in that were far better (as you'd expect though really as it's nearly new)ticki wrote:No at all. Standard GTi brakes are crap.

Do the GTI brakes as standard honestly need upgraded or are they totally fine as they are? If so, i take it this is for the pimp factor??
