Mo-S3 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Dont forget to get the suspension sorted too, no point of going fast if your car cant handle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallachie Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 [ QUOTE ] remap and front brake upgrade. [/ QUOTE ] What sort of cash is a front bake upgrade going to cost? I was giving mine some beans yesterday on some quiet back roads, and after a while my brakes just faded away almost completely! Only put new pads on all round late December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3geezer Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Although they're not Porsche brakes mine has drilled and grooved discs all round with green stuff pads. They look like the kit on the AMD website but I can't say for sure. They work pretty well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 depends what you want to outlay Mills. some people just fit ebc discs and pads. Brembos are circa £600 quid iirc + fitting (guestimate) Porkers on the heavy side of £1600 inc fitting/spacers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReverend Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Quality purchase by the way. I'd personally go for remap brakes haldex ecu Presuming it's on 18's already, otherwise I'd fit some of them as the 40 section tyres tighten up the cornering nicely. I find the suspension is low enough (for me!) but those three things make the car much better. EBC discs and pads are worth the money. Went with red stuff's and they pull it up promptly, look proper too! Good luck with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
