Just needs some Ground Control top mounts (and swap the pflex for superpro!)

One day I will get some of these fitted

The list clearly shows that all the info on this forum has be used to select the perfect parts for your car John, i would chose the same parts for a new build 

Brakes look no further than LOBA 
Regarding rears, do you want 330mm 2 piece rears or 350mm 2 piece rears??







Utilizing the standard rear caliper and pads 

Yes, I've done some extensive investigations before pulling the trigger - as I will with the brakes.

OOOOOOOOOH, those rears look the biz.

I'm guessing lighter than OEM too. May look into lighter calipers too.

Not much idea in going lighter in the rear are there, if you want that approach you should locate the aluminium rear subframe for the 4wd, Michel Dammfors has that on his cupra.

The top mounts are leaving the US next week Rich.  I can add another set for you John?

I'll take your single piston rear brakes with a larger disc..... (Soooo 2011 by the way....)

And raise you 4 piston rears, separate handbrake Caliper choice of two setups

Boxster rears separate handbrake Caliper. RS6 rear disc



Audi R8 setup 355x32mm



R8 rear ceramics on an Edition 30 anybody??.?



Currently its expensive due to the components used but I'm working hard to make it affordable by using more cost effective components. The current first batch of 9 sets are all sold already, might take 9 months but there's a chance of getting this on R32s and S3s for three figures.

All the kits are going on 400BHP Plus TT's and a very special Bi turbo R32

Would love to see this more commonly used though, the pedal feel is sublime

Your kits will beat all other all the time Dave  

All three set are great and i would love one of those on my own old car.
I assume the ceramic kit won't reach the 3 figure category, and i assume the R8 setup is a mock up?? Otherwise your get tired trying to bleed it

You're right, completely missed those. I'm on it!
