Default Anyone go for the OEM big brake upgrade from ECS yet?

Debating about it, since it's an easy install and only around $500. I had the A8 brake kit on my B5 A4 and absolutely loved the quicker stopping power. I don't think the two piece floating rotor is worth the extra money, so i would only get the 1 piece 345mm upgrade. I would assume that i would have to get pads as well so total out the door would be approx $650. I'd prob go with the PBR Ceramics b/c i have been happy with them in the past.

Also, will this OEM upgrade fit under the 17" stockers for winter time?

Default Why do you want to upgrade the stock B7? They are essentially the same brakes found on the B6 S4.

If you want some sort of an upgrade, try running better pads first.

For the price, the bigger rotor upgrade is a decent deal imho.

Default It is a decent deal, however I'm just not sure it's really needed for the B7. But it is your call.

As for me, I'm stuck with the stock B6 brakes and they are terrible. Thinking of upgrading to either the B6 S4 brakes or the Stoptechs.
