R32 brakes are also an option. (S3 = 312mm, R32 = 334)
FYI - Going for brakes thare are too big can cause a problem on such a lightweight little car. I have warped my R32 rotors because apparently the car doesn't weigh enough to heat the whole surface of the disc under normal driving. Only a section of the disc ever heats up causing it to become uneven (ie - warped)
I haven't taken in through the mountains or to the track yet so right now i'm wondering why I even bothered, the standard brakes do quite well considering.

That's craziness with the warping rotors.
I suppose with the big block weighing the front of my car down plus the added weight of the Haldex system negates this effect in the .:R. I mean that front setup did come off the W8 Passat originally.

1477kg is the official stock weight for the MkIV. 1510-1530kgs for the MkV.

Audi Roadster is 1470kgs.

My OEM brakes weigh 35kgs so im interested to see how much weight isave with my Porsche brakes being alloy vs the cast solid metal the OEM ones are.
