big brakes! BIG!

That's the biggest reason I'm considering them. Eventually...WAY down
the priority list right now...especially since my freshly-built
supercharger seems to be eating itself up :(

Since I'm sticking with 13x9 wheels for autocross, I'll someday be
getting the little Dynalite 2-pot calipers in front. That's essentially
half your caliper, but as an opposed-2-pot, they should still be be
better than stock, yet a LOT lighter and still fit on 9.4" rotors. Even
the factory VW 9.4" brakes seem to weigh a TON compared to Willwoods.

The rears may get the "singles", which are essentially half the 2-pots.

Now, if I can just find someone who makes lightweight rotor hats and
ceramic rotors in 9.4" VW format. Muhahaha...
