Default You really need good stopping power to go from noho to ups everyday huh?

On the other hand, do you relly need rear view access? or a tv tuner?



If you had to get something I'd say wait and get some stoptech's used for around what I paid for them 1100 or 1000.. all of the other brake kits are almost around that price, you might as well wait till you get a deal.

Brakes dont help so much on the car anyways unless your tracking. The best upgrade for brakes on this car as said before, is better tires(and maybe SS lines). Than you can go for brake upgrade kits. You just want larger rotors so your car doesnt look so puny huh....

Default I think you'll need a bigger brake kit than the A8 if you're looking to fill up those rims.

There's a pretty cheap porsche boxter upgrade that many on here are doing. Looks good and its performance is proven.
