Big thanks to jon-tfsi for these. Now just need to find time to get them fitted

you should pick yourself up a set of the S3/R32 lower arms as well carl. They are lighter to counteract the additional unsprung mass of the R32 brakes. Which are mega heavy .
DaveB on here does good cheap braided hose sets for the R32 setup if your interested as well.
What pads are you going for?
-
Just the standard ones mate. I rarely push the car and don't do track days so i don't need anything special.
To be honest the wife drives it more than i do :sad1: :sad1:
-
fair point, plus you have something slightly better than the vRS to play with :drool:
-
That will be one of the best mods you will do!!! I put them on my 3dr when i had it and I could believe how it transformed the braking, fookin awesome :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

:happy2: Are you painting them or leaving blue as you can split them from the piston housing and have them powder coated.
-
Just going to leave them blue. Matches the car then :happy2:

I thought you were rockin' the R8 nowadays, or was that someone else? :ashamed: :confused:

We know a friendly powder coaters if you want. :smiley:

Cheers Ian but going to just leave them Blue.
It's not something that bothers me. If they were Day Glow Yellow or Candy Pink then i would have a different view.
But as the car is blue i'll leave em blue. Might see if i can get them done Race Blue though thinking about it :evilgrin:
@T880MM - The R8 was only mine for a few days for my Wedding. Gotta wait till i leave the forces before the Wife lets me have something like that :wink:
