Brakes

The plan to install brake callipers made in Poland didn’t work out. So I think it was supposed to be – the Z17 calipers from Porsche will be fitted 🙂

Upgrading to larger brake calipers required new brake pads. For my Polo, I chose Black Diamond performance brake pads.

I have purchased blue brake lines from HEL Performance for my Polos.

Installed genuine brake cooling air guides for VW Polo. This is just the beginning of the brake system upgrade.

I bought the original brake kit from a Polo 6R R WRC Street. I like this ultramarin blue color. They looks much better than the previous brakes, and they braking better too.

I managed to find on ebay.de the original blue rear brakes from the Polo 6R R WRC Street.

Visual improvement of the factory calipers. I painted the calipers and drums with regular caliper spray paint. They look better than before.
