All I can say is do not buy these (not that I would, nor would I expect any of you to but...).

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-par ... 959613.htm <-- these brakes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59Duap_A4iY <-- mad deflection when brake pushed

http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124314 <-- review 1 that says they're really unsafe

http://www.evotuners.net/forums/f4/d2-3 ... blem-4954/ <-- review 2 that says the same thing.

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/1671 ... ve-review/ <-- review 3 that says they fall to pieces

Brakes are somewhat important on a car and I'd rather none of you pay for over-priced items that are shit and HIGHLY unsafe!! Not impressed that people have started flogging these items which are unsafe and waaaay over-priced and are a massive safety risk

Wilwood Big Brake Kit from GOMIATA for less than half that price delivered
Best $$$ I ever spent on a vehicle
The D2 suspension is just as bad.

I know plenty of people who have used these brakes, namely xyz branded without issue. It's funny how some guy doesn't do a bolt up propery and it's the products fault... Most calipers get a degree of deflection, that video shows bigger all tbh.
