A while back i had upgraded my front brakes to a MK4 VR6/1.8T set up (11inch rotors, different spindles and MK4 VR6/1.8T calipers)
I also ending up installing completely new rear brakes including brake cylinders, new drums and new shoes a while later. Also flushed the entire system with new fluid.
The set up never really had the stopping power i thought it would.
So I decided to bite the bullet and get a new master cylinder, cleaned out a ridiculous amount of crap in the reservoir when i swapped it, and did another system flush.
And finally tonight, I installed a new set of EBC Red Series pads.
After I found a vacuum line unplugged from me doing some past motor work, all I can say is WOW!!
These brake are unbelievable, basically the entire system is new, and the EBC pads are incredible.
I only have to push the peddle half the way down and they'll start locking up....real big difference and i'd recommend this set up to anyone.
