CazzaVR 0 Posted January 4, 2011 I wouldn't bother spending too much on the rears- fronts are much more important! Personally I'd go with the Brembo discs that GSF sell. Really good for the money and don't tend to warp at all. I'd go with standard or cheap-ish Pagid pads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobbymkII 0 Posted January 4, 2011 cheers are the gsf ones priced per disc or is that a pair???? and do i need the rear discs with abs ring or without???? forgive me but ive always driven mk2 gti's with no abs... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted January 4, 2011 Pretty sure they're priced per disc. Prob best to get ABS rings as they can get damaged + you may as well change them while you're there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
