    Hey all...I'm brainstorming about which model cars (Porsche, Audi, and of course GTI's, etc) have a "big brake" set up I can possible use as an upgrade on my 1.8T mk7.

    My brakes are Mehhh.....anyone else?

    I just got a new Golf SEL TSI about 3 months ago and the brakes don't perform like I feel they should. Not expecting major performance here, it just feels like I have to push way too hard and that it takes far too long to come to a stop from an average speed. I have no idea what the supposed...
