After a lot of looking around,and a few dead ends,I finally decided on this...
http://www.volkswagenracing.co.uk/Tuning General Pages/Brake Kit Overview.html
JonnyC rated it very highly,and fitted it to his big turbo S3,and the specs seemed more than sufficient.
Anyway....I took myself off to Milton Keynes today and had it fitted.
It's only been on for about 60miles,but even now,it's way better than the standard kit....much more feel,and far better bite and grip.
Basically exactly what they said it would be,and comparing the OEM discs and calipers with it is like chalk and cheese....the OEM stuff weighs about 20kg per side,and these are 11kgs,and so much better made.
I now have a boot-full of pig iron,which I will need to empty when I feel up to it!
I tried VW Racing's 300bhp Golf with these fitted and fully bedded in,and it compares very well with the AP system I had on my Escort Cosworth a few yrs ago.
The fit and finish are excellent,and the service was outstanding( as is the coffee).
Highly recommended and very reasonably priced,and I want to offer a big thanks to Sam and everyone there.
