Will these properly go with run of the mill MK4 GTI? Thinking about upgrading to this set up cause the BBK's are so damn expensive.  |

All you'll need Al is the rotors and carriers. The calipers are the same as your stock ones. Check out German Auto Parts for the rotors. Zimmernan crossdrilled are the way to go. And I believe ECS tuning has the carriers. |

I've a question I haven't found a good place for yet.
Are the calipers REALLY 100% the same?
We CERTAIN there's no difference in piston size or anything?
Just been a burning question lately.
obtaining more and more parts of the TT front suspension, and well....

The calipers are the same. It's probably the most popular brake upgrade for 1.8T and VR6 drivers. I checked out prices on ESC for the carriers, they want like $130 each  . The best bet is to buy their OEM Big Brake kit. It comes with the 312mm (12.3) rotors, TT carriers, and Mintex red pads. Price is dependent on the rotors you choose. Plain rotors and the kit is $405. Get the cross-drilled and slotted, and your paying $495. I'll be doing this in the future. |

In the future. As long as my brakes still have stopping power, I'm not gonna change them.

should have bought a 20th, and then you would not need to upgrade them |

brembo rotors look like they may be the way to go. slotted and cross drilled 12.3 inch rotors look like a better price than the 20ths or TT's. I believe John said for just the rotors around $100.00 give or take a little. :checkit: might be something you wanna look into iceman |

Hmmm, not a bad price. Though, I think I am going to stay away from the drilled and slotted, even though they look good, but I believe solid rotors perform better.
