After noticing an increase in the amount of suicidal grannys/school kids these days I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade the original brake setup for something with better stopping power.

Had the S3 brakes fitted a couple of weeks ago, I decided to leave them black (as they are) because they only get filthy anyway. It was hard to capture them in the pics:







These brakes feel loads better over the standard setup, I could probably give myself/passengers whiplash if I wanted to  :laugh:. I can brake a lot more confidently now, especially when having to brake late.  Very pleased with them.  :smiley:

Next up:

Took my car to JKM last week for the Milltek TBE to be fitted:







I went with the resonated version and am pleased with my choice  :smiley:. Normal driving, I would say it's a tad quieter than stock which is fine by me but when you are higher up in the rev range you can hear the difference in the noise, sounds nice.

I was surprised at how much difference the TBE has made to the way the car drives, seems to pick up speed a lot better, feels like the car has been unleashed in a way.  :driver:

Since having the Milltek fitted I have stuck to the same Revo settings, not sure if these settings should be revised or not?  :chicken:

Overall, I am very happy with both of these mods, definitely worth the money...

No plans to go stage 2 either!  :grin:

I still got quite a few left over, but I've used two of the best ones obviously.  :innocent:

Why do you need them?? For your wife and kids... or for your wife when she's behind the wheel and you're in the passenger seat?   :popcornsoda:
