    What's happening with the brakes?
    Let me know, I'll be placing the order about 9pm tonight. Brakes are on hold, waiting for new rear calipers. Should be here by the 25th the internet says

    • Just got word from my housemate that I received a package today brakes may be going on this weekend!!

      And they're here!!



      Now do I play games or install brakes?? Decisions, decisions

      Well I played games all weekend, car treated me like a bitch again! Front caliper bleeder screw rounded out (vice grips to the rescue) ordered the last two bleeder screws in the country, $86 for two valves!! Gotta love dealer prices but hopefully can install brakes tomorrow afternoon.

              They're off the r32 334x32mm

              Fronts in



              The fronts full the wheel nicely, the rears still look tiny haha

              • wow! the brake bias isn't effected too much with that greater difference front to rear? I guess all the weight and drive is in the front of the golfs so isn't so bad?

                • Well I upgraded the rears as well. It's the full r32 setup so brake bias should remain oem. Round 1 of bleeding and pedal still goes to floor when the car is on. Round 2 it is then haha

                  • aaa true, you don't need to cycle ABS or anything silly like that?
                    would be nice to have a vacuum bleeder

                    • Looks good man. Fills those wheels up great!

                      Comment


                      • I wonder if you should recode the ABS module to account for the R32 front calipers..they have a different softcode for the larger brakes.
                        PM if you are looking for: R32 rear sway bar; R32 suspension springs; Euro Headlight switches

                            Thanks buddy but atm it's undrivable stripped the bleed thread on the master cylinder so I've given up and waiting for jimmy to get back and replace the mc and bleed the brAkes properly. Gearbox is also coming along, apparently there was some delays with parts but got sent these images and I'm really getting exited!!
