Hi guys.
The discs and pads are gone on my A3 2.0 TDI S-Line but i came accross some S3 calipers off an 07 plate.
Is it worth upgrading or are the brakes on my A3 good enough with Mintex discs and pads.
The brakes on my A3 have always been crap as they've been worn since the day i bought my car.
And if someone could, whats the difference?
So far, I've learnt the discs are bigger.

1) Im struggling to find any more info? If anyone could help and shed some light, Id be really greatful (pistons etc.)
2) Is it worth spending the few hundred to get the S3 calipers?
3) Do i need S3 carriers or will my A3 ones work with the S3 Calipers?
Cheers guys
