i'm hoping the front brakes will be a lot better than the rears as the disc's are 380mm and the calipers are huge, i'll be down your way in a couple of weeks so i'll maybe drop in for a look at your mk3.

the front calipers are a lot bigger and the piston 's are a lot bigger than the rear's. the pads are about 2 inches longer.
