Brake upgrades (RS4)
« on: April 18, 2009, 09:36:12 pm »
I'm looking to get bigger brake discs, etc. I've heard people mentioning that the RS4 brakes, discs and calipers fit straight on.  Has anyone tried this, or can shed some light on this?

Wonder how much the R32 brake setup would cost in comparison?

Is that for the complete set of 4 discs, etc.?  Don't the R32 brakes provide extra braking bite?

Do you think that is a better option, my brakes dont feel up to scratch after the remap and i was unsure whether to swap to a R32 setup or just buy some decent discs and pads  :confused:

If the later, what discs and pads would you recommend?

Cheers in advance.

I'm having my R32 fronts fitted next week, I'll let you know how it goes. The discs and calipers look huge in comparison to stock GTI ones....and the RS4 ones are ridiculous! lol

Personally I am not a fan of drilled discs, more prone to cracking when put under lots of heat propagation.
