    bumper all fixed now brake ideas?

    hi everyone,

    Hope all is well, lol.

    Now that i have finally got my 36 repaired once the insurance company pulled their fingers out, I'm looking at the next stage in mods/maintenance.

    what are some suggestions on brake upgrades (full rotor and pads) and-or Calliper upgrades.. if worth it?

    i have been looking into some rs4 complete setups but they seem to be pretty overpriced.

    Cheers guys.

    Pics of before and after new rear bar too.

    What are you planning to do with the car? General driving? Happy Laps? 24hr lemans?

    What size rotors are in there atm? 312mm or 345mm?

    Mine are 345 in the front. Replaced my rotors and pads about 12 months ago now with ATE rotors and pads. OEM standard as I don't track mine.
