As above a set of track discs and pads and a set of road discs and pads is a good routine! Probably savea few quid in the long run too :happy2:

Hi Mike, I write it down here because I still can't read PM. What I have is:
- Milltek TBE: 3"DP and 2,75" Catback.
- APR/Carbonio Intake with ITG panel filter (APR remap is not "big intake" friendly...)
- S3 Intercooler (optional)
- APR HPFP
- BSH PCV stage 2 high capacity (optional)
Here is what APR recommends (http://www.goapr.com/products/ecu_upgrade_20tfsi_trans_265hp.html)
Carrera2RS:
I would go with a proven set up. The VWR's work well so far, I was looking at AP 332 with 4 pot or 6 pots, the 4 pot is a similar price the the VWR, the 6 pot more. All offer a good weight saving. As the VWR's and AP's are well used on track both options are good.
I originally went VWR as they are 352 by 32mm and have 6-pot calipers and cheaper than AP. The quality is not quite as good in finish as AP (paint, casting etc) they are Caparo not AP.
I would choose who to use for fitment and buy through them. Long delays on the AP kits (6-8 weeks), I waited for VWR to stock again, so they should have kits on the shelf (I suspect).
Worth noting fitment challenges with TT bottom arms.
DT are usually expensive, Balance would I suspsct fit as well ?

Thanks Carrera2RS, VWR and AP were my candidates but after deep research, I am totally convinced about buying AP BBK (330mm 4pots) because, as I am from Spain, all the spare parts from VWR will have to add shipping costs and exchange rates... In Spain we do have AP distributors, but they are more expensive than in UK; because of this, I prefer buying the kit in UK and then, buy the spare parts in Spain (when needed). Furthermore, with AP I have far more variety in pad choises and face discs types.
Carrera2RS:
The 4 pot AP kit will be excellent I am sure and sounds like the best option :happy2:

Well, at the end, I have received the AP Kit. I'm just waiting to find a good garage to fit the kit. I have some unboxing photos but I can't upload them... Probably because I am a too roockie...
