for an extra 50 quid he could have got 328x28 drilled disks, the bloke is saying he has the GT type upgrade, that isnt a GT upgrade. Still, a good buy but id invest in better disks when you can afford it.

reading the info on that link, it does state that it is a GT type upgrade, but it isnt the same as the one i posted which is much better value for money. At that price though, you got a good deal.

idealy, when your car is chipped, you want very good brakes as lets face it, the golf/audi turbo's brakes are shite. the upgraded calipers will be good and make a big difference when used with good pads but the drilled disks are mucho better

how much of a difference does drilling have to discs. it reduces surface area, so they'd have to be pretty effective at doing whatever they're there for to warrant paying extra for just that.

i'd keep my £50 personally for the sake of 3mm more of disc.
