Did u ever fit the tarox sport japan disks? Take it there the same size as the standard disks so no need to change carriers?

Jeff GTi · Post by **Jeff GTi** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 4:34 pm

they have been fitted and done about 200 miles with the mintex disks, so both are in perfect condition

they are the same 288x25 and so no need to change anything

jeff how do you find the sport japan discs?

i was gonna go for the g88s, but found out that they absolutely eat pads!!

Jeff GTi · Post by **Jeff GTi** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 10:11 pm

yeah fine, they are drilled to lose heat and grooved to de glaze the pads, gonna be better then g88's on pads but still worse than solid disks

defo an improvement on braking performance, hence me getting the same ones in 312 mm flavour

GTI meet up - defo

yeah defo sounds good to me, could discuss mods, have rides in each others etc to compare what works, as it can help others in their quest for what they want, looks, chassis, performance etc

im onn for a week from the 27th jan if anyone fancies it that week?
