Looks a good list
Where did you pick up the G60 brake parts from? How much did you pay?

Discs were £56.35 delivered from vwspares
Carriers were £101.26 deliverd from vagparts
Going to be running the standard pads as they are only 2 months old and upgrade to pagid fast road items when they need changing!

Sounds good. How much better is having both strut braces as opposed to just the upper one?

Dunno... will tell ya when fitted!
Would imagine it gives the front suspension further rigidity which ll mean better turn in and less front end chasis flex.
Had just the top one on my old vaux n it made a noticeable difference, especially when changing direction quickly.
Need to get some decent front tyres on aswell as the ones on at the mo are pants.

Rear struts are the t**s!
Up front you've got the Bulkhead which kinda does the same job, there's no similar support up back..
Try one, they make a bigger difference!
I'm just up the A30 from you in Englefield Green, howdy neighbour

y hello!
i was always under the impression rear strut braces didnt make much of an impact unless driving on a track!
may have to invest one of these then aswell at some point!
