10-4 on that. I'm sure there's brake science that works best for each application ie weight of car, brake bias, types of tracks you run on, weight of wheels/tires, etc. I don't plan to do anything to them. I've come to the reality I'm a dad and I'd be lucky to make one visit to Virginia Motorsports Park in a year, possibly a few visits to the dragstrip in the fall/spring, where stock brakes are fine anyway.

Yep. Identical. With the right spacer or the GTI's wheels, I believe I could bolt them right to the Passat. Matter of fact, I may be able to swap the B5 Tyrolsport front caliper bushings onto the GTI. (the brass ones that replace the rubber)

Maybe even the rear brakes could swap too, though that would probably mean transplanting the wheel carriers too onto the Passat's rear arms. It's both scary and reassuring to see so many similarities!
Thanks. I wasn't thinking parts swap, just whether I already knew the procedures to swap pads for the track. :wink:
