Hi fellow Canucks,
I just wanted to offer these up first to my Beetle brethren before posting them on the 'tex. 1) GLI front brakes (calipers + carriers) - They need a rebuild: I had them on the car for 2 weeks and took em off again cuz the pistons were sticking and chewing my pads up (not to mention the car wouldn't stop) 2) TT 225 front brakes (calipers + carriers) - Same as above mechanically, but they're silver and match your oem rears (factory zinc coating) - They were on the car for a few years before I bought it - Still work awesome: only took em off cuz my rear GLI brakes are red and I wanted to match up the set with a set of authentic GLI fronts These in combination with GLI or TT rotors/pads makes a big difference in stopping power. I have driven bugs with stock brakes and they fade after a few hard stops + take more effort to haul you down I'm looking for $250 for the TT's and $150 for the GLI's

Ok, I had some free time this weekend so I spent a couple of hours and cleaned up the brakes so you don't have to (with some Simple Green and a toothbrush). With a more abrasive brush or cleaning compound the TT brakes would clean up even more.
