I upgraded my brakes last summer with 10.1" drilled rotors front and new =
solid rotors in the back on my 1987 16V. I installed Mintex red box =
pads and an Audi 25mm master cylinder.=20
Well, the braking does not seem any better than the stock set up. The =
pedal has too much travel for my satisfaction.
my other car a 2001 TDI golf has excellent brakes and grab.
Grabbing is what my scirocco is lacking.
The brake pedal actuates a rod that compresses the master cylinder. that =
rod is adjustable right? I am thinking I should play with it to minimize =
pedal travel or I will screw something up?
