Have a bit more experience with this kit now after my first track day.

They handled very very well! Even on the oem Porsche pads.  :smiley:

Braking in the right places in a straight line the s3 rears helped negate any squirm too. 
There was a little but I have slightly different compound tyres on the back so am blaming that for now

Dave - How much extra weight per corner is this set up over the NQSBBK? I guess what I really want to know is it worth upgrading, bearing in mind the additional weight, on a car which is not put on track but does get some occasional good fast road use?

Mike - Do the 350mm discs mean that the car stops on a 6 pence, over the 312mm set up of the NQSBBK? As it seems to stop well enough on the 312 set up...

I wish I could let you compare my car to yours but I'm in Scotland for 6 weeks then Afghanistan  :sad1:

The discs are obviously heavier. Iirc the 350mm are 12kg p/ disc but the stopping power is brilliant!  Even moreso than the NQS
I'd love to try them with a 'sport' pad

Not sure of how much better they are than the NQSBBK, but they have some horrendous stopping power, like Mike said, i dread to think how good they would be with a high end pad in there as well!!

well i have kind of. this is an exchange deal, bit like a chain when buying a house as my NQSBBK offsets cost of 996T set up (thats how I am justifying it to myself anyhow  :jumping:)

do you have this set up cupra?
