Thanks for the comment Judgie! I'm surfing the net to get infos on wilwood and AP applications, but still not sure which setup would be suitable for our cars.. Exactly what is the "light 2 pot" you were referring to?

Too bad the Kerscher rotors are 278x20 and not 22..and if you manage to get some light 2 or 4 pots for the front what would you use for the rears (262x9) to keep the balance and your handbrake as well?

As you've written, it's good to have the possibility to use 15 wheels, especially for track days.

One of my friends has a Tarox 6 pot on stock beetle discs and he is happy with them. It's a bit pricey and requires solid discs but light enough and a plug&play setup. Any feedback on Tarox?

Zo, i recently worked out the brake bias on the '03 to give that mild front lock up just before the rear. It accounted to 31% front and 69% rear!!!!!!! It makes you think about all those guys who have massive discs on the front and standard drums on the rear.

That's a useful (and a bit surprising) information Clive! Thanks for sharing it.
