Title: good value for money ? (Brakes)
Post by: BenGTI on August 05, 2014, 09:46:46 pm

I'm getting a stage 1 remap I'm considering getting R32/S3 brakes... Or do I really need a brake upgrade ?

Found a kit that has everything I would need for a straight swap new disk, refurbed calipers etc

For £400 is this good ?

Thanks

I though the were defiantly needed, £400 for refurbed calipers with some decent condition discs and pads is a fair price

If the calipers are refurbished and come with new discs and pads then its a good price. I also run stage 1+ and couldn't recommend bigger brakes more.

Thanks bud, sounds good to me then! Did you get uprated brake lines or are the standard r32 ones enough I don't do track days and that but occasionally give it abit on the road ;D

The set comes with shields also !
