yes tim is right lol haha so all your gaining really is the diameter of the disc i thought the piston on the g60 brakes was slightly bigger
oh well they are bought now so will let you know when there all fitted with the good pads an discs with braided and flushed through im just thinkin that it is an upgrade over standard and should feel a bit better and hold up better for a bit track outings

GTI Brakes will always be rubbish no matter what discs and pads you use
The calipers just dont have the power to be anything better.
