S3 Brakes

Right, we managed to get the fronts on last night; (excuse the poor iPhone pics)





I have covered approx 25 miles in them, and even though, they are no where near run in, the pedal is just so much better than the standard GTI brakes, so much more feedback and they have instantly lost that dead/wooden feeling that comes with the standard GTI brakes.  I must also say they just look so much better and more purposeful behind the wheels.  I am looking forward to bedding them in and getting the rears on, which will be next week now, as Im of to the Dam for the weekend :jumping:.

Just for the record I have gone for standard pads, as on relfection for the sort of driving I do, this will be fine, and I never had any problems on my MKV R32 or 8P S3.

This is a mod I would recommend to anyone, even on a standard car :happy2:
