Westy mate, save yourself £50 and stick with the oem brake hoses, unless you're going to be taking your car on the track and doing some very serious and prolonged braking
Westy mate, save yourself £50 and stick with the oem brake hoses, unless you're going to be taking your car on the track and doing some very serious and prolonged braking

the mrs is gonna kill me if she finds out how much im spending and if can get all done before edition 38 i will be over the moon and try and get car on stand.
I just don't mention what's being done, unless it can be seen, and then I say it was 1/2 the price of what I actually paid for it! It's alot easier that way..
Knowing what you know now Westy, if you were doing it again, would you still recommend that intercooler and setup that you went for? Also mate, what did you pay for the rear tie arms if you don't mind me asking? I'm assuming they are from S3dave?
im slightly tempted by these tie arms of dave's its just i know how good the forge arms are.
What size is the pipework already on the car that the FMIC pipes connect up to? Just wondering whether it's easier to buy and source pipes myself or just buy one of the kits off eBay.
i think my fmic is made by autobahn as all the clips have there stamp on them along with all the silicone pipes
Reesy I bought the entire S3 caliper, both front and rear, from a VW/Audi brake specialist on eBay. He had reconditioned them, put new pistons and seals in and powder coated them red. Good price mate. The 256mm disks are from black diamond.
