this^. Dosent provide that much protection but a cheaper solution than the uhaul tow kit which requires a complicated install. i also have a light bar which is like whiskers on a dog or cat.

I'd imagine the pedal feel would be better with 4 pots
from what I've heard the best budget brake upgrade is to 2010+ LGT brakes since they are nearly as large as STI brembos. you can get re-manufactured LGT calipers from advance auto for $65 each http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...=brake+caliper http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...=brake+caliper |

I mean, ~10k a year is pretty damn low. My "issue" is that my job is less than 1/4 mile from where I live so I've been able to keep mileage on my cars extremely low. Kinda sucks though. I wouldn't mind a longer commute so I could enjoy the car more often.

Yes they are the 4 pot calipers from the gr's. Big difference from stock. No more squishy and sponges brake pedal. It's definitely wroth the upgrade and bolt right up.

I didn't feel any upgrade at all from the stockers when I had them. It was mostly for looks.

not yet. I almost never street park my car. i ran a test in my garage and rolled the car into the door the towhook hit the door first leaving a bit of clearance. The arch of the bumper cover vs the arch of another car is the only problem. I wish i can extend the hook more but its maxed out, guess its better than nothing. and btw that bar you have is sick. where does it connect to through the grill?

You just upgraded the rears with the gr brakes. The fronts are different calipers, correct? You won't notice a difference in rears even with aftermarket brembos. Fronts do 90% of the cars braking anyway. I felt a massive difference in overall brake feel and gripe. No spongey feeling or laggy bite. The 4 pots up front feel like brakes that should come stock, not the POS's that come on the car.

MKVII Golf R is some serious bidness. Probably will be so expensive though! MKVI Golf R is pretty cool too, the MKV/MKVI R-cars are very similar in handling characteristics, but the MKVI has a smaller, better engine and a stick shift. |
