yeah, lines, backing plates, i'm good with.... i just need confirmation that the PFL and FL hubs and mounting points and offsets are the same. (excluding saloon)

Anyone ?

Calipers will bolt on but not sure on the RS3 disc offset. Not sure this is the best forum to ask the question though - try one where there are more S3 owners.

Unless you have got them cheap don't do it as the standard RS brakes are **** poor imho. Better getting APR etc.

i know what you're saying, but i was looking to upgrade the disc's, but use the brembo 8pot callipers, i think it's a reasonable cost effective solution.


I just need confirmation that the PFL RS3 brake setup with bolt on to my FL S3 without issues and line up ect...

Check with Simon at Still Static or Adam at AHPerformance they are both massive brakes specialists and can tell you whether it’ll work as they have been doing custom brakes for years, both of which have helped me extensively on my 8P S3.

I suspect the 8 Pot with RSQ3 setup would be plug n play but you’ll need to double check.


Also check With Robert at Killerbrakes or see what plug n play setups he has on his website for the 8V

As someone once put it, the discs are the graters and the pads are the cheese...
