Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Having fitted 312mm disks, I am of the opinion they are an extravagance unless you plan to track your car frequently. I don't sense any difference in daily driving between the stock rotors with Ferodo pads, and 312mm rotors with Ferodo pads....and the cost difference is about $900, fitted.2015 White German SUV

Why? This would only be for looks, not performance....and if you wanted to, you could probably go as large as 312mm under stock 16" rims. But this would simply add unsprung weight. Not worth it, IMHO2015 White German SUV
