What issues are you having that require big brakes?

[Paulbrown]

TBH I am just looking to upgrade the fronts for bigger better discs and set up.

i will be running stage 2 next month se makes sense to do the brakes.

 

was hoping some one might have a definitive answer to which calipers and carries needed.

Are these the right calipers and kit for the MK2 then?

yes, they should fit on the 55mm strut hub.

 

Personally, I think the 312mm rotor / caliper combo is OK but the OEM pads and rotors are lacking (they lack bite and feel).  I guess it comes down to personal "tuning" philosophy.
