did this to dads n/a mk4, no mods needed, just unbolt old rotors and calipers, and swap on new ones. made a hell of a difference!

Just make sure your wheels will clear the bigger calipers before you splash out

ahh yeah, forgot about this point. we had to lightly smooth off one corner on the caliper to get it to clear the 18's on the car. it was just the design of the mag, the way the spoke came back in towards the inside. the brakes definitely make it worth it, but yeah, make sure they clear your wheels, otherwise you could be stuck.

as a side note, what wheels do you drag race with? if you're swapping both the front and back, you won't be able to run 16's on the back, tried to fit mk4 16's to the back of dads new mk4 with the bigger brakes all round, and they wouldn't fit.

Are you looking at the one's on trademe?

Just remember they don't come with the rear calipers either (2 pot, compared to 1 pot).

I'm gonna get me a brand new set eventually.
Cheers,
Brandon
