Probably should have, but didn't want to take them apart.

Some SUPER good StopTech deals...if you aren't picky about the color

Fits but is not the proper piston sizing for the car.
Yes, I am aware of that. Despite a difference in piston size, the performance should be better than OEM pending the bias is setup correctly.
You'll have to run a more agressive rear pad I believe

Just finished the bed in procedure...brakes feel good!!! Great upgrade.
I second the motive power bleeder recommendation. I've bled brakes without it, but doing a full system flush (by myself), was so much easier.

Just bedded them in tonight. All I have to say is that be without a shadow of a doubt this is one of the best mods I've done for the car. Brake response is markedly better than before, especially when it comes to modulation. And the actual sustained stopping power physically hurt my face. This is without a doubt the most powerful consistent braking I've ever felt.
I'm not even kidding my temples are still a little sore.
This is what the inside of the wheel looks like after 20 hard stops from 60 and about 15 miles of very spirited driving thereafter. It was perfectly clean before that lol.

If I wanted ST40, 355mm for MK7 GTI.. for cheapest price. Which kit (part number) should I get?
(I got confused with all the part numbers. LOL.)
EDIT 1: This 83.893.4700.61 (silver)? BuyBrakes.com site lists them for $1390. How did MonkeyMD get them for $1250?
EDIT 2: Oh, he bought the A3 kit (83.897.4700.61) for $1250?
EDIT 3: What's the reason behind GTI Jake getting the MK6 variant again?

I bought the mk6 kit to get the ST40 355mm I wanted, as they were sold out for the gti. At the time I didn’t really know or care that they were a “mk6 kit” because nobody here knew the lines were different until I did my install. I was just basing my options on the three vehicle codes of the part number known to bolt up on our cars: 892, 893, and 895
As far as I know there’s no price difference between the kits, and if you ask when ordering they’ll send you the correct mk7 lines rather than the mk6 ones

For those that got your kit. Did you get an email saying it was shipped with tracking #? How long did it take from getting an invoice to getting a shipping confirmation?

Yes. I paid and got my invoice on the same day, Monday, got shipping notification on Friday, and received them the following Wednesday.

Mine took about two weeks to ship and the tracking went to my junk folder, so check yours if it’s been a while.
The kits are built to order so that’s a normal lead time. I also got my order conformation right away
