i fully agree with what you are all saying there, I however cant afford to splash out 1600 on a set of brakes, a £1000ish is my limit, which is pretty much why i wanted to know if the would hold up to what i need.
the brakes I was looking at were 365mm two piece kit, with 6 pot calipers. as found on the rear of a porshe carrera GT supposably, so definately would be able to handle what i could throw at them. I however cant purchase them until the money is saved so they will still be on offer. ill just contact him when i hav the money ready and get some then. Id say from what i have spoken to him so far about, is that dave knows his stuff massively.
the vag crossover parts i think will suit me better, its more affordable and way cheaper than theother options available. And to be fair if they are ok for stopping an RS6 or porsche they should fine on a car half its power.
with the K04 upgrade, ive personally seen the first k04 vRS done at JKM produce 309bhp,(presumably due to the k03 engine having a higher compression ratio maybe). I also drove it and it was quick and felt really progressive with its power, but not worth the extra dosh over stage 2+, if i go that route it will be a bigger turbo
