    I reckon if we could take 230kg's out of the Golf, that would help - The light weight of the Polo really shines on the circuit!

    Guy,

    Any brake similarities between the Polo 9N / 9N3 and 6R? Wondering if the new Polo brakes would fit the old Polo and if the TT / S3 upgrade on the old Polo would apply to the new one...

    I'm contemplating ditching the TT setup in favor of something lighter, the TT rotors are too heavy.

    They look pretty similar - but they have different part numbers. Unfortunately the only way to try for sure would be try a fit up. They may have completely different piston sizes, so don't know how they will react with your master cylinder.
