fitted B7 8 pot brembos to my B5 a month ago.
have been bedding them in recently and unfortunately had to put them to test at the limit yesterday.
came over a crest at about 60 [cough] and someone had pulled out really slowly from a road on the left about 100yds further on. he slowed even more about 2/3 across the road and then moved forward towards me.
I can still see his wide eyes filling the windscreen as I stomped on the brakes and drove round the back of him! ABS worked a treat and I have never had to test out the whole "brake and steer" capability like that before!
absolutely confident that I would have hit him side on if I had been on my previous brakes/tyre combination.
Awesome stopping power, I knew they were good but had no idea they were that good.
well worth the time and money.
