You can get all New 312 Calipers carriers, Discs and Pads for under £300 delivered, quick lik of red paint, and a litre of VAG brake fluid and you've got a 312mm conversion for under £350

Wheels to clear them cost a fortune though

That truly was a bargain!!!
Though Bill has some pretty keen pricing on Brembo's, you could near have 4pots for what Jeff paid

I was very lucky with my brakes - sold a new car to someone who had contacts with something to do with brembo and he sorted me out.

i never actually paid that andy, thats what they would retail at, though i did get them all from awesome and vagparts, i paid nothing like that

So why tell the boy they would cost £700 then????
Anyone can get a discount at both vagparts and awesome

because andrew, if you pay standard price, as advertised on their site, thats what they would cost you,
no one offers discount these days, you gotta ask for it, and if you dont, the cost would be near by £700
