Im in the same boat, improve stock or go for an upgrade. There are so many other things i need to buy, new wheels, tyres, bumper spraying.

So hard to decide how much to spend on brakes. Think ill have to go for uprated pads and braided lines.  :ashamed:

I hear you! When I go down to statller for the brake fitting and service will end up going stage 2 aswell as im set up for it. And then tempted to go 2+ with intercooler and hpfp. Modding is a slippery slope  :signLOL:

THe S3/ R32 brakes are a great upgrade over the stock 312mm brakes. Fact.

Yeah sure they are a fair bit heavier but they are more powerful, have better feel, are more progressive and of course - they look better  :drool:

As everyone running these says, the benefits of having them far outweigh the extra weight (which you don't really notice tbh)

Unless your running gay wheels like Jay  :love:, these are a great OEM+ upgrade that won't break the bank  :happy2:

Absolutely agree  :happy2:
