Hi All

There are quiet a few CSL's for sale all with similar milage and price. I am trying to work out in what order to go see em and check out the condition.

The only difference between them is the AP breaks.

So, given I shall not be going to a track and will just be using the CSL for road driving, do I need them?

Cheers

Newbie

No. It would just cost you more in the long run, as the pads and discs cost pretty much twice as much as the standard brake system.

No stock will be fine on road maybe with some better fluid or pads if you ever get any fade.

Shame to change the CSL to get a beetle.
Matt has done the proper thing, to take the BEST PART out of a Porsche and put it in the BEST CAR.
And the funny thing... the BEST PART is italian ;)

Don't do it :ban: U'll soon realise the misplacement of the Beetle's engine :banghead: and then you'll miss the perfection of the CSL :drool: even more :whistle:
