Golf MKIV brakes on a Polo

[Eddy]

Mate I just ordered the REAR two-piece rotors for OEM replacement MKV R32 after doing a lot of research. Racingbrake seem to have some really high-quality stuff and have got some clever designs. They must still be quite a small company as it seems that they personally answer requests and are VERY proactive in making new products. Unfortunately the rear R32 rotors were not so popular with only 3 back-orders from the start but they said they are still going to be making them for little ol' me

Hoyhoy.

Well, well, its a small world, me just joined their forum the night before last to ask them why I couldn't order the 2-peice MK1 TT front rotor as it said special order only. This was after making a Ph. call to them, where the chap told me that there was not enough interest in the ones I wanted, but to hop on the forum & that may be there will a chance buy asking about these.
Well next morning their answer was if I really wanted them that they will make a set for me.
So guess what me ordered & paid in full already along with their TT bracket which is cheaper & stronger than others.
Me to have done a lot of research, this mob have a clever product, looking forward to getting them for me next Waky day.
I'm going for the rear TT set up as well.
Have a look at their products folks before going out & buying a big kit, I'm very confident that they will solve my heating problem when hitting Waky in the 1:10's.

I'm expecting this upgrade particularly the Two-piece rotor (Open Slot) - VW MK4 GTI FRONT to solve the over heating problem that me have when doing 1;10's & if its a fine day the team REKREK which is my SON & myself are going for sub 1;10's.

Hey Eddy, should be pulling your teeth out of the steering wheel with that brake set up! Quick question, so did you just swap the polo caliper bracket for the TT ones on the front and retain the polo caliper itself?

Cheers.

Anthony, it won't brake that much better than before, but should be a lot cooler with the u-bute rotor.
This brake upgrade included all new rotors, carriers & calipers , the Polo caliper won't fit with either the front or rear when doing this upgrade.

[VWindahouse]

Oh ok thanks mate. So I don't suppose those Tyrol stiffners would fit the polo calipers then?

[Eddy]

Hoyhoy.

I'll have to answer that one later, still to get into that part, but fairly sure that it would fit.

[VWindahouse]

Awesome, let me know.

Cheers!

Well anthony, me was wrong, the Tyrol Stiffners are no where near compatible with the Polo Calipers, totally different set-up

[VWindahouse]

Shame mate, worth a go. Although the shims should do wonders for you!

[Jmac]

Na they def wont fit, for some reason i thought you had 312s on , must have the been the fact we did TT rears, i do remember you mentioned them last week , went over my head mate. Done a few 312s now so was thrown somewhat. Not to worry.
cheers

All good mate! Can't remember everything about the millions of dubs under your care Jimmy. Not far off but
