welcome to the product review team :grouphug:
Given what you know now , would you take the same route, or make different choices?

Although I've not driven a car with the R32 brakes, I think that is an excellent cost effective upgrade - especially if the pads, hoses and fluids were upgraded at the same time.
I think a BBK kit is kind of overkill for a road car, but it's nice to know that it could do 10 70mph to 10mph stops one after the other with no issues (other than the pads bedding in :wink: ) .
As to Stoptech over anther BBK? - Stoptech build very good brake kits and I'm impressed with the options they offer - so happy with the choice... but next time, I still might be tempted by the Volswagen Racing kit :D

Using the same kit on mine and also been very impressed with the results so far, bedding in period is fun :happy2:
What part number do you have for the rear brake lines just running stock on the back and have noticed the back end tweaking a bit under heavy braking, had some noise from breaks but take it out for a few spirited runs on country roads making full use of them and the squeaks go awaya

Yes, bedding in is great fun :evilgrin:- need an empty road though :driver:
The Stoptech rear brake line kit part number for our cars is : 950.33515 .
The pads I'm running aren't Axxis ULT on the back as I first thought, on closer inspection, they are the Stoptech stage 1 upgrade pads - Part number : 104.11080 - which are, Posi Quiet Metallic pads (work great actually).
And if you were to go for the stage 1 disks on the rear, the part number is :
126.33099 L (for slotted - Left) and 126.33099 R (for slotted - Right) or
128.33099 L (for drilled - Left) and 128.33099 R (for drilled - Right)
