Hi again fellow dubbers,

I know this topic has been brought up before, but the search button just didn't co-operate today :P

I need to know all the parts I need to upgrade my brakes. I REALLY appreciate it if someone could link me to the parts ^^ :D

Thanks so much!

Is it not normal to upgrade the back ones as well? :P

You can upgrade the rear but for normal veryday use it is overkill, my brakes with just the fronts are awesome :)

quick Q, if someone could answer quickly that would be great!

Will the 312mm disk fit under my 16" gti wheel? :?:

yes they will fit.

about the rear brakes, not nessasery to do them.
pointless will be a better word :wink:
you can upgrade the back if you put a 320mm bbk on it with 4 pot calipers or higher, just for keeping the f/r breakbalance a bit in order.
otherwise it will be just fine to keep the back standard, if you want to improve it, keep youre money and put better discs and brakepads on the back.
more as efficient enough :wink:

Oki, thanks for the tip!

They just look so ridiculously small compared to the new front ones xD
