Default Brakes FRST

Hi,
Front brakes of a MK5 RS2000 are they bigger and better than the originally FRST ones. And if they are is it easy to fit them?

cheers

yeah they are too big, you would have to go up to 15" wheels.

all you can do with the 14" wheels on is try different pad materials and find out which one you like best.

going by my experience i do NOT recommend greenstuff pads or disks.
