I considered Empi.... Half the total outlay compared to CSP... I opted for CSP for 2 reasons. One the CSP is TUV approved and comes with a TUV approval certificate which is a great help for iva. The other reason is quite some years ago I was involved with fitting a Empi kit but it was of dire construction and not fit for use in my opinion. However, although I have never seen the revised version, I suspect that from your comments that Empi must have got their act together and sorted the initial issue of the caliper flexing all over the place. (Not to be mistaken for the "floating caliper" normal movement). Empi would be the most cost effective solution.   Left hand drive master cylinder... CSP have a universal unit but that is another story and will include it in my build thread.

I believe the flexing issue stems in the USA as they have several kits on offer with stamped or cast brackets, why anyone would buy them flimsy looking things is beyond me, but hey ho.... 'murica!!
I've only ever see the cast brackets here and they are a chunky bit of kit.

I would go CSP if I were to do it again, but the price was the deciding factor for me.

didn't know that about the golf master cylinder. I ordered my kit without them and got a dual one separately as I knew they routinely came with lhd master cylinders.

Agreed .. Cast caliper is the way to go.
