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:

 :happy2: Are you painting them or leaving blue as you can split them from the piston housing and have them powder coated.

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:
