I was wondering if anyone has herd of this company, and if these discs are infact any good.

i recently fitted these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SKODA-OCTAVIA-VRS-GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS-FRONT-REAR-PADS-/360116435905?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item53d89cbbc1 and early reports are good

Brembo are big on the jap scene. Used for Skylines and Silvias. Great disks and they make even better callipers

I got the Tar.ox G88 discs on at mo and they are rubish. Stopping distance has not improved, and the noise every time you brake.

I just want something quieter.

I've got the brembo High Carbon discs at the minute, paired with mintex pads for an audi s3, and it stops really well!!

Got the discs for £40 each from GSF.

Pads were £20 from ebay..

just checked the brembo shop and they dont do rear discs for the vrs :wonder: .... emailed them and all they can say is " sorry they aint on the list " .... yet they do them for other octavias .... just dont make sense

Not worth doing anything with the rear discs IMO as they only do something like 20% of the braking, the standard rear discs and pads are fine, even some of the members on here with 300bhp+ cars run the standard rear setup. Otherwise you need to buy something like the R32 rear calipers etc. then buy the Brembo discs to suit those.

The Mk4 Golf R32 real calipers are the same as the calipers on the Mk1 Octy vRS already. Identical apart from the R32 ones are blue and ours are green. The discs are identical too (256x22mm). I discovered this when trawling through the inter-nerd looking for a new rear caliper last year!

It is also true that Brembo don't make the 256x22mm discs. God knows why! But you can't get them, because I tried. I wanted my rears to have the anti-corrosion coating like my Brembo front discs do. But had to settle for the Zimmerman's in terms of standard discs.

Just looking back to this old thread: http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/135753-rear-caliper-refurb/

While we're on the subject....

The vRS shares rear calipers with the following vehicles:

Golf R32 (BLUE)

TT 3.2 Quattro

Seat LCR (RED)

TT 225 Quattro

Golf Anniversary (RED)

Golf V5 170

Golf V6 4-Motion

thanks for the handy info guys .... should be able to find some others

wasnt about upgrading the rear discs as i wanted to improve the rear braking but i wanted the discs to match also the stardard discs do rust very easily ( and i kill a set every 6 months due to city driving )

anyone ever used EBC brakes ?

Discs are apparently good.

I rate the red-stuff ceramic pads, but wouldn't use the greens.

Yellow Stuff (Type R) are fine for road use too.

I agree dont use green stuff pads they are just not suited to a heavy car like the Octy.
