Hi guys need some advice on these brakes I fitted
I went back to my mates garage and bled the breaks again done a few hundred miles now and it still doesn't feel 100%, on slow braking it's amazing works right like it's meant to but when I go to hard brake then it don't feel that strong I feel to take them off n bin it and put originals back on please advise thanks

Re: Mk5 Gti brakes
Regardless of the amount of pad material left, if they don't match the discs just as they were removed the braking efficiency will be terrible for ages.

Re: Mk5 Gti brakes
Hello community, I come from Germany and have registered here to possibly get a few answers to a few questions. If I understand correctly, did you install the 310mm brake in your caddy, just by swapping the saddle carrier? I would I would also like to upgrade my rear brake. It's a Caddy Maxi with 2.0TDI and 140PS. Ex-works it already has the 312mm front and rear brakes only 256mm. Thank you for an answer and I apologize for the bad English, I am writing through the Google Translater.

Re: Mk5 Gti brakes
Hello, I tried to install the 310 brakes at the weekend. I only tried other caliper carriers, discs and pads. I found that this didn't fit. Even if I ordered the right calipers, the brake hoses and handbrake cables would either the spring or the wheel. Now send the parts back and take care of the MK4 rear bumper.
