didnt think they had any difference in braking power over finned drums - just the weight - really worth 450 notes? On 23rd Oct, 2009 sim_ou_nao said:

KAD do them and just reading their blurb they have changed them so they are now suitable for the road. I hink the addition of dust seals and a handbrake have helped.

on another note do we have any idea of what the wear is like on the rear disk jobbies - since they were designed for racing and not for road use how long would they even last? i imagine repalcement parts being pricey On 23rd Oct, 2009 sim_ou_nao said:

I briefly remember someone using bike brakes on the rear, could be worth a look. |

Also another conversion possibility is mk5 polo GTI setup as they run alloy calipers also if i remember rightly the mk4 golf does too..... Edited by MINIMON on 19th Dec, 2011. |

How much weight is there to be lost by using the kad kit over a lightweight drum set up, e.g. minifin, alloy hub etc?

Its just £700 for the kad kit is quite a lot. Quite a lot with a rear beam and alloy radius arms! Id say 20kg + Interesting to see what Madmk1 weight saving is with his new set up. Matt W

mk2 golf items are the same setup but are prone to siezing and are cast.
