Stock MKIII

Krem · 12-18-2009, 12:04 AM

I think our cars are only 1 cylinder for brakes... and if you're not racing, I don't really see a point to having a different cylinder for each brake.. Also I remember reading (from many references) that our rotors (especially the fronts) like to warp. Getting drilled rotors, though it looks cool, would probably reduce the integrity of the brake rotors. I understand if any rotor option other than flat rotor is used on the mkIII, it should be slotted and not drilled so you can still have some integrity in the rotors.

To each his own.. but my mkIII won't see any high perf. brake upgrades like that till she's strong enough to actually need them... till then, I, myself, will be saving the money for fixing whatever problematic issue pops up next...
