Hi All
Im looking into doing a Brembo brake upgrade for the front, as fitted to alot of the Ibiza Cupra Mk3s (I think...the ones made at the same time as the GTI). I beleive there are porsche calipers which also look the same
Has anyone ever done it to a Polo...seeing as the Ibiza has almost identical hubs, it shouldnt be too hard.
Thanks
Alex

i think one problem you might have is the choice of wheels to clear them if i remember right.don't think there a lot that fit

BBS RX2s in a 16" will clear them fine

I Do believe all that is involved is getting brackets bought/made for the caliper, and then its a case a various amounts of 4 pots (Brembos) Will fit, but its spacer brackets you need

better braking performance perhaps. Its only an idea at this stage, and will probs stay that way.
Im more focused on G40'ing the black mk3 atm

Yeh I think it's a bit of an effort for a standard engined GTi. Get on with the G40
