are these all the same callipers or is one more powerfull than the other, am thinking of upgrading cams manifold ecu upgrade etc or do you recon i should just replace the knackered calliper and leave brakes standered????

 

[andyj]

they're all the same, and the easiest to use.

it's either that, or upgrading the entire car to 5-stud and you can then use 312mm brakes from the Leon....

or there's the Mk3 Cupra R Brembo option at about £800 !!!!

cheaper option would be hi-spec 4 pot calipers and discs for around £450 iirc.
or willwoods for 5-600.
280mm discs and pads aren't too bad, and if on a budget,upgrading pads discs/hoses and fluid are a good compromise.
which would cost circa 150-200 if you go for some DS2500 pads/super dot 4 fluid/grooved discs/goodridge hoses.
just need to think VW when ordering some of it though.

personally?
why buy coilovers if you never intend on adjusting them?if you do then fair play.
brakes ?you can never have enough braking,and if you're intending on more power and going around bends quicker,then inevitably you might want to stop quicker too
