s3 gone now a shiney red evo 6
ive heard the rear brakes on the s3 on take about 5% of the braking power, but has anyone changed them to a set of brembos or anything? are thet alot better?

Heavy, front engined, predominantly FWD car...I'd guess the rear brakes only do 5-10 % of the work on hard braking.

Surely a cheap upgrade on the rear would be to recycle your front callipers onto the back and fit some larger discs? Or does that scupper the handbrake?
