Owner reviews for brake caliper

No fade at all (overheating is no longer an issue). For the first time the brake pedal feels like the gas pedal. You just touch it and it slows down a bit, you gently step on it and it slows you down, you press harder and it slows you even faster, etc. Finally, believe it or not, ABS kicks in rarely!! (not the case with OEM brakes). My opinion is that this is a very wise setup, not \"ricey\", very effective and a top value for money .

I started with 11\" brakes and Wilwood 4 piston calipers.

Best brake mod for the buck, with this car. Did it on both my VR6 and G60! Tremendously improved brake feel, reduced fade, and decreased stopping distance.

Put on G60's and stopping questioning yourself. Now that mine are finally broken-in the pedal is like a hair trigger that kicks off the ABS at highway speeds

CHASSIS: Brembo four-pot rear calipers with 355mm discs

First of all, you can run the G60 (Girling 54) fronts with rear disk on a 20mm master cylinder with no problem. I am running that setup right now. That being said, yes, the pedal feel would be nicer with a 22mm master, but the 20mm will work also.

I only ask because Ive been running this set-up for 2 years now. And its a minimal change, if not the same, effort to push the pedal...But the car is alot more controlable when braking than it was with the G60 set-up. Personally I like it better than most high performance set-ups for braking and feel...but it could stand to lose a few hundred lbs from the calipers.

I was actually using the C carriers and 11rotors with my G/J calipers for a few months. I was waiting for my SS lines and pads, I didn't need to bleed the brakes.

The callipers flex and the point which hits is not where you grind...but further outward...it'll be obvious how they flex when you look. I use my brakes VERY hard with some pretty trick pads...so you may not have the same problem...but mine have grooved the inside of two sets of front wheels.

ultimately you will need a new caliper, because the parking brake mechanism ins't rebuildable by itsself. It's a common vw problem, actually, both my parking mech's are seized. just don't use the e-brake. and don't buy a rebuilt caliper - they never last.
