My car (2011 TSI vRS Estate) is standard (power wise) at the moment and a real weak point for me is the brakes. Going to have some more go power soon and need to start looking at the upgrade options I have.

 

Have seen this post - http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/169744-not-so-big-brake-kit-porsche-brembo-4-pot-callipers-on-vrs/ but wondering if there are any better options available now?

I don't think anything has come along which gives such a strong price/performance ratio. 

Have you read the Yeti-Man's build report?  In the Yeti project section.

 

The big brake from a Golf Ed40 or whatever seems to offer big looks but also big weight, which will hamper grip and give your shocks a hard time.

 

AFAIK, anything else is either big buxs or very experimental, similar looks to the NQSBBK but using a differently sourced caliper.  Different mounts, different diameter pistons, unknowns, unknowns.

what size are your brakes now? 288/256 or 312/282 ?

S3s are plenty good enough with 345mm discs, and much more compact, though heavier, than Brembos

312

Thank you, will have a look at Yeti-Man's build thread
