Big brake kits

[dbell425]

So I'm fairly new to the GTI world as I just purchased my a few months ago. I've upgraded the intake, downpipe and put a stage 2 tune on it. I'm now looking at brake upgrades and it just acurred to me that the kits I keep seeing are all fronts. Does no one offer a kit for all four wheels? I realize the front does the majority but aesthetically I think it would look better if the rears were bigger as well.

Anyways, love the site, I've gleaned a ton of very useful info from it.

Thanks

Not at all, it's just a driver. I'm not implying I need bigger brakes by any means but they sure look nice

Then you don't need to upgrade the rears.

yes I understand that I don't need to but what if a guy wanted to anyways, just for shits and grins. Does anyone offer kits for all four corners?

Stoptech does. Contact the folks at buybrakes.com and tell them what you are looking for.

I have not seen a kit for all four corners of the GTI. I assume that yours has the PP on it so the fronts are 340mm and the rears are 310mm? I would go with a big brake front kit and then get the matching rotors for the rear at the stock size. Also, if doing this change the rubber brake lines to Teflon SS lined brake lines for a better feel and get performance brake pads. I have 17 GTI Sport with these brake rotor sizes and installed the TTS front caliper kit that can be purchased from ShopDap or ECS Tuning.

I think HPA is the only kit that does front and rear

I looked at HPA and yes they do have a kit, if you want to chuck up $5590 plus install. I am sure that this is a great kit, but for a basically daily driver!

neuspeed has a kit for the rear. just rotors. reuses factory caliper

OP your logical next mod would be an intercooler upgrade with the mods you listed.

I did a four corner upgrade on mine, but also started off with non Performance Package brakes.

Stoptech does not have a rear kit for our cars.

Yep.

That is only for electronic parking brake cars, not manual parking brake cars.
