    Standard brakes are quite good. I replaced front brake rotors with the slotted ones.

      Yes they are good but to be honest I am after the look as the wheels I am fitting will show the brakes and I think the standard ones look crap

        At least for T4 there's a D2 kit available for front and rear, but I made rear from parts already laying in my garage.

        Front D2 330mm, 8 pot.


        T5 front discs (drilled holes to them for looks) and Brembo 4 pot calipers (front calipers from Seat 1,8T Cupra) painted to match for rear. Homemade bracket. Needs hydraulic handbrake.

          That is serious stopping power at the front (you needed with that power output), are these ATE slotted rotors?

            Shadowmaker your talent never seems to cease...

            I have looked at your T4 build on the Brickyard website.

            These brakes are needed from the stuff i have read on the engine build in your van.

            Keep up the good work.

              No that's a complete set from D2 with even braided brake lines included... Would have prefer slotted discs for rear too, but drilling was easy / cheap.
