I think what was meant is go through existing threads, have an idea about what's been done. Know and president what your purpose is : pure track, track/aggressive street, street
What wheels are you running to know what will fit. Are you pp or not?
Then come back with an informed detailed question.

I'll get you started with some threads you can go through as I don't have personal experience.

You have given very little insight to fully answer the question.

It would help if you tell us what you're looking to achieve. A brake setup for a weekend only setup is quite different than something you may daily drive. The non-pp brakes are quite similar to the mk6 setups, and people have historically been able to squeeze performance out of them with a few things. Obviously, if your needs are track capable, then some of those previous threads mentioned would be a place to start.

I'm in the same boat, but i want to try auto cross next summer so what would be good for both for us Non-PP guys. SS lines, pads + rotors go a long way
