Big Brake Kit Upgrade Case: VW Golf GTI (Mk7)

Even though the technology-packed Golf Mk8 has already been released, the Golf GTI Mk7 is still one of the classic representatives of modern FWD hot hatches. Inheriting the VAG group's then-newly developed MQB platform and equipped with the infinitely potential EA888.3 2.0-liter TSI direct-injection turbo engine boasting 220hp, the factory setup only comes with a single-piston caliper with a "purely cosmetic" red finish and 312x25mm rotors.

Therefore, the owner choose to upgrade brakes to the F601 6-piston anodized red calipers and expand the rotor size to 356x32mm. This retains the classic red appearance while simultaneously achieving lightweight design and enhanced stopping power, delivering a true leap in braking performance and an instant boost to your soul horsepower!
