345mm Front brake upgrade questions

[fazi123]

Hello everybody,

I'm sure this has been discusssed a number of times, but I was wondering whether anybody can give me a definitive list of the parts needed to upgrade to the OEM 345mm brakes (Found on the S3/R32/Cupra).

Thanks in advance,
Faz

I was going to upgrade to 345mm s3's. But after a lot of heavy braking the fade is bad like the standard brakes. Nornal day to day braking is awesome though. But I decided to spend another  £100 or so and got some 4 pots.

Thanks for the details guys! :)

I'm planning on sticking to the OEM items as I'm not going to do any track work, and the extra expense which I assume will no doubt come with having the 4 pots just doesn't seem worth it to me.

I must confess they do look better though!

Yeah they look awesome under the alloys. The gti should have come with better brakes from the factory as they are pretty poor and too small.

Any idea of ballpark costs for that lot?

[fazi123]

Thanks for all your replies guys.

Would S3 8p Calipers & Carriers fit? (sorry for the daft question)

What else aside from the brake lines and dust shields would I need for the above set up?

Thanks again,
Faz

Yes they will fit

Calipers+Carriers
Dust shields
Brake lines
Discs

Anybody able to help me out with OEM part numbers for the brake lines to make the S3 brakes fit?

Are they the ones marked as Flexi Hose in the post by @bigmig95 above?

Thanks,
Faz

Never mind - I'm sure I can pick them up cheaply enough from TPS :)

I just need the part numbers :)

Why not fit braided lines instead? From HEL, Goodridge or custom made, for example.
