And if they are getting tired of this thread, then im quite sure they all
know how to use the delete button and they're more than welcome to use
it. At least this thread IS well on topic unlike some that have been
going around lately and you pick this one to complain about? C'mon dude.

Wrong dude. On a stock Scirocco that is driven as a daily driver as this
car was intended, YES, this is a fine braking system whether it be the
9.4" or the 10.1" system. It works just fine for those grocery getting
drivers. 
We, however, have been talking about performance driving.

Im hoping that the exhaust was upgraded to get the added 50-70hp.... :)

See, this kinda irritates me. Here we have been hashing out the
differences of the brake systems and i've been hoping that some of you
11" brake users would of stepped to the plate and offered up the
experiences and opinions of the larger brakes but now that we've spent
numerous days debating this without anybody offering up any kind of real
world experience until now? jesus.
