If I'm right, the TTS disc is 340mm, same thickness but about 1 to 2kg lighter per disc (which strangely, is very noticeable at the steering wheel)?You are correct, I had 340mm and 345mm MTEC discs at the same time and the difference was 750g but bare in mind the 340's were brand new and the 345's had done about 7,000 miles with my lead feet so had probably lost a good few grams of material.

You can get Brembo versions of those too, but but the time I pay out for those and some decent pads for my stock Golf R brakes, I may as well go all out and get a lightweight 4/piston caliper set up instead!Anyway, if I were to replace my front discs and pads for some decent versions in place of OE parts...Pads: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/brake-pads/car/volkswagen/golf-mk6-r/2012/2-0-turbo/brembo-hp-sport-performance-pads-front-pad-set-ate-caliper-2Discs: http://www.mtecbrakes.com/brake-discs/audi/tt-coupe-2006/tt-2-5t-fsi-rs-quattro-07-09.html(I'd get the grooved versions to help keep the pasts cleanest.)Anyone disagree with the choice of brake pads? I know they're not very well liked on here, but there's a lot of good thoughts on the EBC red stuff pads since they changed the compound a few years ago.Also consider some stainless steal lines. Perhaps more so than expensive TTS discs: http://www.brake-lines.co.uk/hel-brake-lines-for-volkswagen-golf-mk5-3.2-r32-4-motion-from-1k-4-000-001-2005-2007.html(I assume the mk5 R32 will be exactly the same as the mk6 Golf R/S3?)
