Got the Golf R brakes installed yesterday.
The install was very easy. Direct bolt on replacements with a perfect OEM fit. Below are the specs on the setup I'm running. I also did the rear brakes since I had to bleed the system anyway.
FRONT
- OEM Golf R calipers and carriers (smoothed & painted GTI red *see previous posts)
- TyrolSport caliper stiffening kit
- StopTech stainless brake lines
- Centric high carbon rotors
- Carbotech 1521 pads
- Motul 5.1 fluid
I'm personally a huge fan of the Golf R brakes from an aesthetics point. They also perform excellent and are a huge improvement over the stock brakes in my opinion. They look HUGE behind the wheels. This might be my fav upgrade thus far.
