The VW MKIV Jetta VR6 is known for its stout powerplant & willing chassis. Unfortunately, this model did not receive a braking system befitting a performance car of its caliber. ECS has developed an exceptionally effective solution to this dilemma - the in-house assembled Stage 1 Performance Braking Kits. TT brake caliper carriers and 312mm ECS GEOMET Coated rotors form the core of the Stage 1 Kit. GEOMET creates a durable rotor surface that resists road salt & solvents.The kits are also highly practical as they allow you to reuse your stock calipers, pads, & mounting hardware.

GEOMET® is a special coating containing metal oxides, zinc, and aluminum flakes, sprayed over the entire rotor surface to ensure complete coverage, and baked on at 600 degrees to form a durable and attractive silver-gray finish that fights rust far better than paints or other conventional coatings. Slotted or drilled and slotted, you can expect your new GEOMET® rotors to outperform and outlast stock rotors, and look great behind your alloy wheels.
