Daveb1970 is your man for brakes. If you are just wanting a base upgrade then the Cupra/S3/TT front brake upgrade with braided lines and DOT5.1 fluid and DS2500 pads is a good starting point. Cupra brakes would mean the calipers stay red. Alternatively Daveb is currently looking at the Porsche brake upgrade, which looks pretty good for the price.

All depends on budget and useage I guess....

Heres the thread for the Porsche Stuff Im currently working on.

Excellent results on road and track so far, its gone a little quiet but around 6 pairs of calipers in for refurb at the mo and around 10-12 kits sold so far, interestingly theres some people changing from big BBKs to these so that thread will be back on page 1 fairly soon
