Apparently I have a reputation of putting together kits for cheap. So without further delay, I bring to you the Staulkor R32 Front Brake Upgrade Kit (lol).
ECS charges $1300 for R32 front brakes with blue calipers and plain rotors or you can get plain (silver) calipers instead for $1015 for the kit. They charge $285 more for blue calipers even though there is zero price difference directly from VW.
Also note that drilled and slotted rotors are technically WORSE in terms of performance. They may look cool depending on your personal tastes, but they are worse for performance.
Now I haven't actually ordered anything yet. I plan to get this kit when I have money for it, probably in a few months. So be warned that I accept no responsibility in the accuracy of everything on this list. I have tried my best but I cant guarantee anything.
*** FRONT BRAKES ***
*** REAR BRAKES ***
Now I chose not to go with ECS stainless lines because they are absolute garbage and not worth the cardboard box they are shipped in. They normally sell for $60 for the front set. I am going with Neuspeed stainless lines which are $155 for all four corners. Unfortunately there is no way to just buy the front pair and the rear lines will not (most likely, dont know for sure) work on the stock GTI rear calipers.
Also, I have added in the price of Hawk HPS R32 front pads.
So do the math and you will save $350 and get far superior stainless lines.
Note the ECS kit DOES NOT include brake pads either. So tack on an extra hundred for pads.
So what do you think? How many will now get R32 brakes now that I have pieced together another cheap kit to save you money :headbang:
