    NSW Brake rotors/pads & your advice (288mm or 312mm)

    Hi,
    Faced with requiring new rotors and pads for a MkV Jetta (either standard or GTI size w. larger claipers etc) I just noticed ECS had a special on larger 312mm rotors with an adaptor carrier for the standard calipers/pads.

    Good so far.

    USD $199 on sale. However add $178 for shipping!

    Does this sound right?

    What alternatives are worth considering? Maybe I should just buy GTI calipers and new HPS+ pads/aftermarket rotors to suit?

    Do people herebuy a pad/rotor combo from the states or can local specialists have a compeitive offering for front brake rotors/pads?

    Chers,

    Here is the link to the ECS page selling the 312mm rotors (Gernan; Schwengen, plain) & adaptors to allow bolt-up on standard MkV Jetta, Golf etc.

    No pad change or brake bleeding, they say, just unbolt, rebolt!


    OE style 312mm Big Brake Upgrade $199

    I've not seen it discussed much online. May be useful for other Jetta owners with spoked wheels, for just appearance or maybe slightly better fade resistance.

    Anyone have a good condition, OEM GTI front brake set on offer, complete with pads, for an attractive price?

    If it gets too hard to buy a GTI set, then this ECS set is at least a cosmetic upgrade.
