Rookie question about brake kits
It looks like most kits upgrade the front and ignore the rear. Is the front that much more important? Just curious since I think that will be the next purchase.

That someone is me...more information inside...
Stasis is completing testing on a Front and Rear brake kit.
They haven't finalized the pricing yet, and the kit is not for sale, so please don't call Stasis asking them questions. I'm just trying to give the forum some advanced notice for those looking at brake upgrades.
In short, the fronts are a 2 piece rotor and hat, the hats are Stasis designed, and are insane. They fronts use a 4 piston caliper, and everything fits under stock Avus wheels.
The rears utilize the S8 carriege assembly with the stock S4 caliper (which is the identical caliper on the S8). Another 2 piece rotor and hat in back, and again the rear hats are Stasis designed and are insane.
Both front and rear rotors are slotted/vented. This is a great looking kit, stayed tuned in the next few weeks for a formal product release from Stasis.
Here are some pics on my car at the track (after some massive abuse I might add):
The front:

The rear:

Again, please don't call Stasis, these aren't for sale yet, and they won't be able to answer technical questions until they finalize the testing.
