Well I fetched my brakes today and they are brand new TAROX B30 - 6pots. The first set in the UK

OEM brake disc, caliper and carrier weigh-in = 13.5kg

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm shiny new things = 12.5kg, so bigger AND lighter = deep joy too.

Caliper comparison to OEM

Going on nicely.

Even got my hands dirty today!

The final money shots....

First impressions are excellent. The brake feel is superb and very progressive. There is more "feel" to the brakes and when used in anger are phenomenal at retarding speed. I'd even go as far as to say that they are better than the 10 pot TAROX's I had on the Golf - but the Golf is a heavier car. I can thoroughly recommend these if you have the money and there aren't many brake sets that look this good either.

sick.

looks great dude! :)

And I'm all out of Kleenex.

Looks sweet.

Latest Polo.

Owner getting his hands dirty, making it a technically better car.

Cheers guys. I had 10 pots on my last car and just had to go for the new ones for the Polo.

Ah yes, but I'd rather have them and not need them, than need them and not have them :-D

Good Stuff :)

These were behind 19" alloys, so actually don't look huge and were 330mm discs.

Behind my 18"ers.

on a mk2? You'd be doing a forward roll

hurdy, name rings a bell and i recognise your mk5. From southyorkshire?

bigger brakes or not, you will never forward roll a mk2, no one has the strength the press the unassisted brakes hard enough.

The Golf ended up being sold to a chap on the mk5golfgti forum, but the nitrous an carbon fibre came off.
