Does this imply that the power you're running means the R32 brakes are no longer effective?

well, i have a complete set r32 brakes on the way, so i can have the rear brakes, and are currently having Cupra (red r32) brakes in front, but i have 2 mates wanting a set each, so that leaves me one set short, and stumbled upon a set of rs6 brakes at a fair price, so i considered them instead, being an RR guy i prefer floating discs to floating calipers. I also hope to do some trackdays next year and want to be sure that the brakes won't let me down  :happy2:

Only that i have decided on Tarox 10 pots as this will allow me to run pescara's with no spacers. As far as i have gathered info the RS6 are applicable but will require spacers for STd. spec wheels TT  :happy2:

Or go for the AP Pro5000+ kit that i will be doing with DaveB hopefully soon.  That will fit behind the standard wheels.   :drinking:

Are they those super light 'naked' (un-painted) alloy grey calipers?  If so, just be VERY carefull with the bleed nipples.
