No they don't, but the combination of solid mounted calipers, as opposed to the rubbery mounts with OEM single piston calipers, and even brake pressure over a wider pad area sure improve feel...

For your OEM+ option I would look at the 6-pot Cayenne calipers. I did the math, and if you source everything from junk yards the cost difference between the 6-pot and 4-pot is not much, even if you re-use your stock GTI rotors for the 4-pot.

You sure? I did that math about 4 months ago and came with the other conclusion.
Plus 6pot is too much for the street. I'll look into it,

This might do after I sort everything out. And it would be a little cheaper as I already have Neuspeed lines.
However, I read somewhere (I think mk5 forum) that the caliper bushings needed to be changed out seasonal. Thats why I did not go this route. Can anybody confirm this?

I've read that they need to be taken out to be cleaned and regreased, but nothing about replacing them.

Without any useful sources, I can only assume the numbers were pulled from a jar. I see a few discrepancies in the 4pot setup that would easily put it down below the Cayenne, but its still without rotors.
Where is the info about the cayenne setup?

You forgot about the brake dust
My front calipers are pink while the rears are still red. Track sessions fade the paint...

Did you try cleaning them? My front were pink for the longest time until I changed out my pads/lines and cleaned my calipers. They're bright red again. As of brake dust on white calipers...yes totally agree. It'll just make me wash my car weekly then

Buy from a company that actually specializes in making brake products vs a company who private labels asian knockoff bbks.
