Great review Mike  :happy2:. Plenty of technical info.

I can confirm this brake kit is awesome! Can shed huge amounts of speed very quickly. I have done two track days with these brakes and they have been fantastic. Once they have got some heat in them it is very confidence inspiring around track. Also I have not had any brake fade at all yet. They do get a bit noisy when really hot but still perform well.

Alex also provides a great service and if you decide to go for one of these kit I would recommend making the journey to AKS to meet Alex and see how things should be done properly.

Here is a cheeky picture. Sorry about the dirty car  :ashamed:

Nice write up Mike, they look amazing.  :happy2:
I maybe should of went for this kit instead of the TTRS setup.  :confused:
What discs are you planning on running for the 335mm rears?

I haven't decided on the 335mm kit as ££ is short & I have things higher on the list.

Alex has them on the Octavia and they look  :drool:

Just seen them on AKS Tuning FB page. That will be some stopping power with that setup  :evilgrin:
I can imagine it wont be cheap with the alloy hubs too.

The 370mm fronts

You can use the 362mm AP kit on the RS3's.  The person to get a review of the 362's is Rich (Cupra R on here) great kit
