Aargh, I can't decide on what brakes to upgrade!
They desperately need something done.. at Lakeside I had severe fade which I suspect to be primarily bad fluid, but the pads are prob on their way out too.

I think I need new rotors also as they are verrry bumpy!
I'll definitely be fitting braided lines and better fluid, but I can't decide on the size.

The car is primarily used for the street with the potential for a happy laps fang every month or so..
Bigger turbo upgrade on the cards too...
With that in mind, I only want to add as much braking power as I need... 12-piston calipers and 1m discs look great but in my opinion it's just added weight if you don't need it.

From what I've read, a few people feel the stock size rotors are great once you upgrade the fluid and pads. Eddy was on stock size rotors for a long time, speaks for itself. To upgrade to slotted rotors in stock size with A1RM pads, braided lines and racing fluid, I'll be looking at around $850.

To order the ECS TT/S3 size brake kits with pads, lines and fluid, I'm looking at roughly $1900 for new bits.


Now I know the TT upgrade is a nice upgrade, but would the extra cost and weight be worth the extra braking capacity?
