Golf GTI Edition 35 : front brake upgrade PP Mk7

 

Been searching ebay for weeks.
I was either buying second hand or brand new from Germany (link) but we now have import tax given Brexit

Heres the actual pictures from the ebay advert on the donor car.

Primarily bought for the carriers and calipers.

Im not a fan of EBC brake pads but as long as they work, I will use the discs and pads and look to replace them at a later date with Ferodo DS2500 and some drilled or j hooked discs

how they arrived, needing a good clean (old mk7 hoses still attached)

given a little clean 

clean up the 340mm discs (from the donor car), these are mk7.5 discs

old 312mm setup ready to be replaced.
At 50k miles pads only 50% worn!

312mm calipers VS 340mm PP caliper

in the middle of fitting.

NOTE 

I kept my original dust shields

I used my original hub bolts (mk7 ones are too long)

I reused my original rubber brake lines.

I kept the oe caliper attached to the brake line until the last possible moment.
