SV: Brakes

["Roland Johansson" <scirocco@mail.bip.net>]

I have 280mm G60 rotors and my original calipers moved out with
an adapter plate. Breaking is sligthly better than before,
better control but big gain is that they functions always and
doesn't send smoke signals. With some added power the original
brakes could't stop the car after two hard breaking from high
speed, now the car is braking nice even after 5 laps on race
tracks.

Brake pads are cheapest I find and they functions as good as VW
original.
