Brake size.

Post by GTiJackk »

Hi there, first time on the forum. Got my GTI in January and I’m looking to change the front brake rotors and pads. I was just wondering if anyone knew the size of rotor needed?

if you get the chance find some 256mm rear vented calipers

the braking is shocking in my gti think it's due to not enough braking on the rear axel

I’ve just ordered some Drilled Brembo discs and sport pads for the front. I think I will end up doing the rear sooner rather than later. New tyres first then rear brakes are on the cards!
