Those calipers look very similar to my RS3 brembos. Do you know if they're the same?
I know that mine are also the same as evo X brembos as that's what I get pads for as there is more choice plus no VAG tax
Yep they are the same. DB9. TTRS RS3. I think the vantage uses these on the rear too. I know that mine are also the same as evo X brembos as that's what I get pads for as there is more choice plus no VAG tax
Cor, what a car!!!
That pic of it in the last post, blimey those brakes look beefy!
What’s next? Steering wheel swap? Would go well with the modern infotainment..
This must be THE best modern Golf. Modernising it just makes it so much more appealing! If there was one thing that let the MK5 down it was the interior with the nav and steering wheel and you’ve sorted the nav out, but a MK7 GTI steering wheel would look just so right..
The Golf really is the true do anything car. Completely classless yet can be the B road/ tracl weapon too. I’d have 2 .. this example and a DBP R32... MK4 or MK5 i can’t decide!

Think I probably need some better rear brakes.... Managed to get them a bit hot at Cadwell. Spent today just strippint them down and checking them, just for safety sake. Removed the dust shields too as they were corroded.

What you got planned next?
No upgrades to be honest. It's kind of where I wanted it to be and I don't really want to spend another few K on making it any quicker.Things need doing are...
Oil Change + Filter
Cabin Filter
Rear Discs and Pads and brake shields
Rear bearings (nothing wrong with them just changing them as I bought new ones last year and never fitted them)
200cell cat checked/replaced (keeps nearly failing MOTs)
Sort oil leak from back of block (tiny weep.... not significant but needs sorting)
Front ball joints back to OEM (So I can fit 61mm flange AP rotors instead of 54mm)
I might raise the car up 5-10mm too just because It does occasionally ground on some of UKs finest roads.
Not urgent but need doing over the next 6 months...
Front 362x32mm 61mm flange discs and M1144 pads
Cambelt + DSG Oil change

Wheel refub....

Cadwell today.... It surprise be how brutal Cadwell is on the car. If you think your car handles and stops well... then Cadwell will tell you otherwise.
Gotta have some nice relaxing music on around the track :-)
More pics to come...
