Hi, I have read all of this post and need a little advice.
I have a full set of front and rear r32 brakes offered to me at 400. I am now wondering if I would be better off just going with the porsche option fronts only. I have a stage 1 remap, induction kit and Milltek exhaust and don't plan on going to stage 2. I am afraid the r32 brakes will add too much weight and I don't need all that stopping power.
I don't do track days so no real heavy braking but would like an improvment on stock. Would the 4 pot calipers make much of an improvement on the stock 312mm discs?

Can I get some help in making a decision, would appreciate feedback.
thanks

i took mine off the rocco last week and cannot believe the difference compared to stock, you get a great pedal with these and really progressive stopping  :happy2:

Did you use 312mm discs with boxer calipers or boxer s with 330mm discs? Just trying to decide if 312mm would be ok and save on cost a little?

just took delivery of my machined drilled discs from DaveB for my NQS. words cannot describe the awesome. i cannot WAIT to get them fitted  :party:

just as an example of the attention to detail:

the discs are drilled in a design that's symmetrical on both sides of the car! i'd never thought to ask him of this but secretly deep down it would have bothered me if they weren't but this man has clearly thought of everything!

DaveB i salute you  :happy2:

I was under the impression the S3 setup is a slight improvement.  Not sure on weight
