Can the master cylinder cope okay with all this new braking power?
Once you start pumping money into a car and it starts to take shape and get the right attention on the road you literally cant stop putting money into them LOL!!
why did you take it off the market - couldnt find a suitable replacement?
I would love a set of big brakes on the A3 if she was remapped, but they cost an absolute fortune, some still even when they're second hand
I was contemplating BBS CK's but they are absolute hens teeth in the right fitment for a VAG and brand new they are big dough!!
I think the 8P is nicer looking than the 8V TBH, I cant really warm to them TBH apart from the S3 flavour, even then I think the MK7 Golf R would be my choice between the two...

Sorry @Tufty out of my budget ATM as there are other things higher up the list such as MFSW, new rims, rubber, etc...and I may be parting with her early next year
do you know the lad who used to pimp about in a red A3 Sline sportback with the speedlines and at one point had BBS rims with S3 brakes on it - tidy example
always used to be parked near boucher ECP, havent seen it in a long time though...wasnt sure if he worked in your place

BBS CK's you say?
Belong to a friend who runs them on an A3 8p, Genuine 19' BBS CK's with Carbon BBS centre caps!

Big brakes don't need to cost the earth, I've some r8 4pots, new carriers, new pads just need some merc discs (150ish for good ones)to complete, what I have I'd let go for £550 if uz want them,
calipers are cheap in my opinion with the big BBK, you can pay a good bit for carriers, pads can be big money depending what ur after but discs is were all the money is in my set up, the eye wateringly expensive but the do the job and last ages
I've done 14k with the ap racing discs and they have only worn 0.2mm with aggressive DS2500 pads, I've heard they can even last up to 200 track laps
As for selling the S3 I never really had the heart to sell, it was never advertised, I have to remove a good few expensive parts first and I won't be having an upgrade I'll be pocketing the funds so there not much motivation other than money in the bank, but it would take a 25k car to excite men at the moment RS4, C63, M3
, and I'd only want to add my take to them with brakes, wheels and lows so I'd need a 30k plus which is silly when I'll never have my good car for the commutekyle.j1

This parting out of the car sucks, last show will be Titanic Dubs and I'm undecided what wheels to run, LMs getting collected after the show and the Cantona are off to Germany so maybe they'll make the awesome dubs thread when the owner goes to worthersee

the next car is hiding in the garage until the daily clio sells then out on the road using it for work and everything, the audi s3 is unlikely to stay but I have a set of OZ 19" superturismos on there way to fit up to drive it for a month or two, its as far as I can bring myself to part it out without hating it.
The Brakes will stay with me and maybe the suspension until I decide whats next, I wanted more power and a BT would see me spending another 10k on the car it has 74,000 miles and just cant justify spending that much on it and don't have that sorta money either lol. There nothing out there that I really want for my budget so just settled for a good daily which people will probably not understand the step back

What does Stillstatic mean btw?
Some sc3n3 bollocks I am guessing?!
Shame to see this being split, but I think it's the right thing to do.

@Woodcutter Stillstatic supply H&R Ultra Low Coilovers.
StillStatic are the people who sell/supply the H&R Ultra Low and Deep Ultra low coilovers, AH Exlusive and Flachwerks are the people who build them. Wouldn't say it's anything scene, more just a company and representing the brand, if you want scene go for bags haha
