Just wondering what brake upgrades people have done? Seen as standard aren't too great!

I know some people use brackets and the Porsche calipers, but has anyone done any other things?

Also has anyone's touched the rears?

Cheers!

Octavia mk1 or TT mk1

Thanks!

No need for spacer blocks I take it?

Nope only needed to top up brake fluid and refit wheels, mine was a 1.6tdi a little bit more work was needed than doing it to a vrs

I had to fit vrs front hubs so fitted coilovers while I was at it

VW Golf R32 brakes have been done before too.

I simply used standard discs, yellowstuff pads, and ate blue racing fluid, works quite well for a cheap option

I have a 312mm set up, soon to be replaced by a 330mm set up (the 330 is serious overkill, but, what can you do)

how much power does your monte have ?!

Mk4 golf r32 brakes on mine.

Twin pot with 334mm two piece disc

Are any of the bigger discs a straight swap? So no need to replace or modify anything to get them on?

Would aftermarket centre discs be better than standard ones of the next size up?

the r32 ones are a straight swap and no need for spacers too but need 17s minimum

Nice. Are they Tarox discs? Same size as the standard ones? Would you have a link at all?

Thanks, I've got the gigaros on so should be ok. I'll have a look on eBay and see what I can find.

other colors then black will cost you 200 extra 

 

will fit with standarts with spacers

Just standard, if I started to modify the engine the wife definitely would divorce me

Thanks again everyone!

No worries mate! Looks like we've been after the same info anyway.

Just let me know when you've found someone doing buy one get one free on r32 calipers

Hi,

 

Just wondering as i am looking at just putting upgraded discs and pads into original calipers until i invest in other performance upgrades. what are the original calipers in the VRS 1.4 TSI, TRW, Girling, ATE?? Thanks 

ATE on the VRS. I wouldn't bother with "upgraded" standard size discs. Just lots of money for minimal heat dissipation advantage from drilled/grooved pattern.

Money better spent on better pads, either EBC Yellow Stuff or Ferodo DS Range

Well it's a while ago but I've finally done it...

Got mk4 r32 front brakes to put on the car!

I just need to get a 17" wheel for my spare!!
