I've got a set of front brake pads..

There green stuff pads brand new boxed..

If your interested send me a message with your offer..

I'm upgrading to tt brakes in jan so there no use to me

Thanks

Green stuff pads are in no way an upgrade.

Best upgrade without changing calipers would be black diamond grooved discs with ferrodo ds2500 pads

I found some 312mm brake from a mk4 gti which had brand new pads and good discs! For £160, not bad that so just shop around on ebay

Best brake conversion is as said either from a mk4 golf or a TT

definitely amazing off the TT!

I always thought the tt and mk4 were exact same brakes! correct me if im wrong!

Don't know bout mk4 bt a know the mk5s have the 312 brakes

Think the r32s do? Or also the s3 brakes are 312 too!

Aye the old s3s the 20valvers

The old 8L S3, the 132kw mk4 and the TT all have 312 5x100 front discs

I just recently purchased a set of these

In pounds it was about 40 pounds for the set when they normally sell for close to 100 pounds per disk normally

I need a set of those discs and pads to make the 312mm upgrade worthwhile I think! Standard pads don't bite well enough!

Mist importantly do they not fade right enough? Lol
