Hello,
as you all might know by now, I do ask a lot from the poor S3, and the composite front brake disks and Pagid yellow's all round aren't enough.
I am suffering from Huge disk vibration when the system is hot, mainly attributed to the fact the Oem sliding front calipers do not guarantee a constant contact patch between disk and pads.
Result: the system fades and the braking power is nowhere near what I am looking for.
I have been looking in to upgrading the front brake assembly with new calipers, disks and lines, while keeping 18's. I have assessed the following:
- Brembo kit
- Audi RS4 kit
- Audi TT-RS kit
It seems that nobody is sure about the measurements and clearance, so I am asking you, out there, can you help me out?
