HDI are 266 and GTI6 are 283, it might not seem like much but yes it is worth it . .Smile

No, its not worth it. I've had both, got GTi ones currently, wont bother changing to them on the 5dr as they don't seem to make much difference, just give a bit of extra pedal travel which is annoying lol.

They do look better behind cyclones though lol.

283s are definitely a worth while upgrade if you like to drive in a spirited manor and Brembos even more so. Both just bolt on (need different lines for the brembos) But be warned, brembos squeal horrendously on nearly all discs. In fact the only ones i think they don't squeal on are Tarox G40 discs at roughly £280 a set. Cheaper just to get some decent Hispecs or Wilwoods.
