New Brakes!

[Allegiance]

Hi Guys,

I decided to pull the pin and buy new rotors + pads. I have been talking to Greg for GSL Rally Sports who helped me with part numbers.

I am yet to get them fitted (this Saturday at Volkspower!) so I will let you know the results.









I will post some pics when they are on.

Thanks

Looks sweet, how much did they quote you on all those parts?

$554 delivered.

$554 delivered.

Not bad for front and rear, do it yourself and its a fairly cheap upgrade.

I am not that daring The audio system I was fine to do on my own but not something critical like brakes. Volkspower said about $200 to fit it all.

Volkspower said about $200 to fit it all.

In that case, I probably wouldn't either

Allegiance, would you still happen to have those part numbers for both the rotors and brake pads.

Cheers mate

I can look it up tomorrow, however you may want to hold off until after Saturday when I get them installed to make sure everything is perfect with fitting.

I have the same brand (RDA) slotted rotors on my T5 (front only), and they're OK, improved braking nicely. I regret not getting the rear ones slotted as well.

I am going to wait until the GTI comes out and have a look at what brakes are on it and potentially up grade to those? The brakes seem to be the only weak point on the car, it will be interesting to what they are like after Allegiance does his?

Well if his upgrade goes nicely and he gives it the thumbs up i will be definitely interested in buying a set.

The review that I read in Wheels about the GTI, one of the weak points was the brakes from memory...
