Brake upgrade for 1.5 e-TEC

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

I am considering a brake system upgrade from my stock 288mm front brakes either to a Brembo Max/Extra in stock 288 size or a complete upgrade to the 312mm brakes which the bigger engines have. Has somebody already done such an upgrade? Is it worth for normal daily use, occasionally highway?

Unless your driving it like you stole it or having random track days I reckon the stock brakes will be more than enough. Did think about upgrading on my old 1.9tdi but changed tyres for a better grip and stopping power in wet. Found the standard brakes were excellent but new tyres definitely improved stopping power especially when roads were greasy and wet.
