RE: Brake upgrade advice

["George Turner, Jr" <getone@mediaone.net>]

you should try the velocity big brake kit.
It is awesome!  You will not experience any fade using Ferrodo Street pads.
The brakes cool so well, that you do not need any *high* performance pads.
Mike Potter used them on the One Lap GTI and also could not make them fade
during the whole One Lap contest at any events.  Total cost for the kit is
approx $900.  it is comprised of 12.4" TT rotors, Brake pads, spacers, and
heat shields.  You can not beat it.  I love them!

Subject: Brake upgrade advice


Just got back from another track day at Lime Rock Park, and I'm really
disappointed with my brakes. They were squishy as hell at the end of the
day.

Current setup (97 Jetta GLX):
Zimmerman x-drilled fronts, stock rears
Mintex Redbox pads all around
SS lines
ATE Super Blue brake fluid

So, I'm looking for any suggestions for improving braking performance. I
briefly spoke to a guy who had a red GTI VR6 w/ Wilwood calipers and Brembo
rotors. He seemed to like them.

TIA,
Kevin
