Brake caliper Girling or OEM Volkswagen

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

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 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.

I have the 54's on my mk3 jetta 2.0, great upgrade.

Braking is sure, thanks to large four-piston calipers all around, though the pedal effort is not as progressive as I'd like.

I had this problem with my 90 GLI. It was the parking brake mechanism on the caliper of the right rear wheel. It had seized, not allowing the caliper to release when I released the parking brake lever. I had to replace the caliper.

In my car...Not really. Its so light and the G54s provided plenty of stopping with decent pads. I expected more but Meh? Ive been runnin em for nearly 4 years now?

The dual piston calipers seem like a great upgrade, and in theory they are, but the actual difference in stopping power between them and the corrado single piston calipers isnt noticeable. The extra unsprung weight of the dual piston caliper is also a drawback.

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.
