Brembo Brakes

Guys are these brakes any good? Will I be able to use my current calipers considering these discs are the same size as s3 discs.

Thanks

Never liked the slotted variants for the road personally, they are noisy, grab some EBC Yellowstuff pads with some MTEC drilled only discs, or if you don't mind being illegal some Ferrodo DS2500 / Mintex 1144 pads... get a fluid change too :happy2:

Step Ups from there... R32 calipers > NQSBBK > BBK

BTW, those aren't S3 sized discs, S3 are R32 in size so 345mm on the front. 8P at least :happy2:

When you say noisy? In what way?  And is it really noticeable? especially for passengers?  Its just that im thinking ov ordering slotted and dimpled discs...
