Bigger Brakes

[jon.od]

Am considering a larger wheel upgrade and the brakes looked a little silly behind huge wheels, not concerned with the rear drums as they are little more than a parking brake.

What is involved with a brake upgrade obviously nobody lists aftermarket upgrades for the A2 the disc & pads are no problem but does any body know anything about calipers and bracketry?

Jon,
You'll need replacement carriers to relocate the calipers accordingly. Depending on how big a disc you are going for you may need to replace the calipers. My experience is with modding golfs and the best person to speak to in this regard is Steve Cresswell at C & R Enterprises in Nottingham. I reckon the A2 would look menacing with 280mm black diamond discs behind 18" wheels.

Check out the 3.2V6 240HP Golf as they are sure to have big front brakes.

Don't know if you will be able to fit them though?
