MK3 BIGGER DISCS AND CALIPER UPGRADE

Post by wozzy »

Hi ,guys
I would like to know if anyone has put bigger discs and calipers on.
I will be running 17" wheels and maybe even 18"
I am turbocharging the car so need to increase the stopping power quite a lot.
The car will be fast road use
cheers

Standard brakes are really good on the MK3.

When i took this one to the Isle Of Man last year , i cooked the brakes on the first run over the mountain.
That was with the standard brakes and engine.
I am now looking at around 250BHP at the wheels, so stopping will be an issue when driven hard.
