996turbo front callipers on R32 discs with brackets easily available on ebay/creation motorsports website.

That seems to be the most common setup.

Cheaper to run the Brembo setup off a Leon Cupra R though, £300 should get you the callipers and carriers and the 323mm discs are much cheaper than genuine R32 disc.

You can actually get this kit, with lines/carriers/bolts and you just need to add the calipers/discs and it all bolts up, and maybe spacers depending on your wheel choice/offset.

They are expensive because they are proper 2 piece floating discs.

But yes as posted there are options for the same spec discs that are cheaper if you look around.

Ok cheers I think will look into that really want some big calipers and discs at the front

Porsche Boxster 986 4 pots are also an option and there are kits available for example:

Ok cool thanks I've got lots of choice by the looks of it

Also looking at some cupra r brembos slightly cheaper

[Vw nut]

Been looking into this further would love some front Porsche calipers but I think I will make more financial sense to maybe go with cupra r brembos

[Vw nut]

Has anyone modified there brakes on there MK4 if so what route has people gone Porsche/brembos any input would be much appreciated thanks
