Cheap brake up grade?
I came across this brake set-up on ebay and got to wondering if it might be a cheaper option for upgrading c4 brakes. The bolt pattern's the same, if the calipers could be made to fit with adapters it might be an option. Any thoughts?<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OEM-Mk5-VW-GTI-Big-Brake-Kit-2005-MKV-Jetta-Rabbit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33564QQihZ016QQi temZ260143722856">mkv brakes</a></li></ul>

= cheap brake downgrade. How many pistons in those calipers?
312 x 25 rotors with 5 x 112 sound like A8 rotors which arent't a bad thing. However, the calipers aren't likely much better than our OE Girling G60s.
A "cheap upgrade" is TT quattro brackets and A8 rotors with OE G60s. At least that works on the normal C4s.
Otherwise, you'd be better off with slotted OE rotors and some good pads.
