Great work Cory. Keep it up. My uncle had an 84 Mk 1 GTI in white back in the day. I loved that car! A true Yuppie mobile. And he was in finance in London at the time too... perfect!

Great guide mate...part number for hose & thinner pads please!

Enjoyed the comparison in the pads in relation to which style rotor they mate with. Always wondered how the thicker vented rotor would work...since I was staring at the meaty “non vented” pads I ended up just sticking with the solid rotor

I just got my hands on a set of brackets… but now the slide pins on the caliper are too small to fit them
