    Hi Guys
    bought a W reg mk4 GTI a few weeks back - its had a new clutch & duel mass fly wheel, timing belt and water pump and today a service with oil change. I was told it needs new rear brake discs. Worth upgrading to 256mm whilst getting them done?
    Planning on going to Nurburgring next year. Front ones are nearly new but the regular 288mm ones btw.
    ALSO, one tyre is misshapen and the front two are cheap make - Mazzini, so thinking of upgrading them (doing all this over a few months) the current original alloys have been kerbed too, so possibly new wheels with some tyres that would get me round the Ring too (live very near Demon Tweeks(DT), so plenty there to chose) any recommendations on tyres and if I did buy new wheels too - keep to 16"? DT have these down on their competition page:
    Uniroyal RainSport 5 Tyre at £78 each
    Also best place for wheels too please
    Cheers
    Dave

    No.

    Just fresh Super Dot 4 brake fluid, and good front pads.
