    Just wondered if anyone runs any bigger discs or even different calipers in the rear of there 5? if so what do you use? Calipers? Brackets? Size discs?

    I've searched in the past and iirc scenic discs are bigger and would probably fit.

    Maybe there no real need apart from stuffing the wheels

    Standard rear fiscs do look tiny compared to my willwoods and big discs up front. My mate loves your car after seeing it at Scoffs last time.

    Rears dont really do that much so larger discs would be overkill I would think
