Hi I am new to the forum,so forgive me if this question has been asked before, I am driving a 52 plate S3- LOVING IT, with 18" Audi RS4 alloys- and wondered whether there was an easy brake upgrade- ie whether RS4 front brake discs,pads calipers would fit without too much modification.
Or any other upgrade any member has done
thanks
Simon

Welcome

Have a search through the forum, but I think the red Porsche calipers are a popular upgrade.

I think the other common one is the brembos from the Seat Leon Cupra R

As Dave mentioned, the Porsche 996 TT calipers mated to 993TT discs. You'll need to replace the Porsche Bells with ones to suit 5x100 PCD and caliper carriers.
This is quite a popular up-grade and makes a world of difference to the poor brakes you currently have.
Mov'it and Ray West tuning supply them in kit form.
