OEM cage in it? lol
They're two piston sliders though, so double what any R except the Mk4 R32 had.One thing I'd like to point out about those pictures for the MK8 is that they show crap sliding fist front brake calipers...so no nice 4 pots like the Audi TT-S......FFS VW!!!..
I got a Wiechers Clubsport for my R
Meh, I've had a similar weight car (M Coupe) that did just fine on track with two piston sliders. I've also had cars with six piston Brembos (135i) that barely functioned on the road, much less the track. STi's, 370Z's and many other cars with four pistons are absolute rubbish on track. Fixed calipers are pretty and of course make sense when properly done, but I hold that a 3000 pound car doesn't necessarily benefit from them if a sliding caliper setup is properly designed and lines, pads and fluids are all appropriate.
Well sure, it could have the aluminum subframe too. And a five cylinder. But everything is made to a price point, and we're talking about a car that's barely over the average new car price of $37.2k.
And we're talking about a Volkswagen. There's a reason they have a more expensive brand in Audi, and Porsche, and Lamborghini and Bugatti. We're dealing with an entry level family car, not a sports car. It would be nice to a see a Golf R Plus like has been rumored, I'd pay more to get some "Audi" parts and something closer to a Focus RS in terms of track readiness. Of course the death of the RS probably isn't helping this cause at all.
That’s not actually overhang, the body coloured section has a gloss black strip under it if you look closely.Even the golf has a bit of overhang.
The R line is just like that oo
That's definitely how it's going to be.
Definitely still camouflaged in order to make it resemble the Mk7 front end.
