One thing I've been a little disappointed about the GTI (that I noticed when I first test drove it) is brake feel. It's not bad, and it brakes just fine, it's just that it brakes like any other regular car.
The best braking car I've had was my old '97 Maxima. Being old, I ended up replacing most of the components- master cylinder, hoses, calipers, rotors and ceramic pads. Ooh-wee did it feel great after that. It had a firm pedal, with a very direct feel from pressure modulation to braking force. Lacking ABS, I was able to practice threshold braking to where I had a sense of what % to the limit I was in most situations. Stopping was just as fun as going.
How can I give the GTI more of that feel, within reason? Technically, SS hoses are supposed to do that since they eliminate something soft from the system. Can anyone who has them tell me if they make much of a difference?
