Looking good Nate. As for the costs I'm not sure but approx $2900 range and weight is lighter than stock (not sure by how much). Also don't forget that if you want to upgrade to brakes this large (front) you'd probably loose your dust sheilds as they're made for the stock rotors.

Wow, this is gonna sound noobish, bot are we sure that the S4 brakes fit on the front? I also assume that this completely kills the idea of running 17's.

Re: For all you guys NEEDING bigger brakes................ (nearwater4me)

o.k. you guys, it's sitting against my door........lightly. don't fret, my paint is as glossy as it gets. anyone who's seen my car can attest to it. i appreciate the concern though.

anyway, the kit was 4lbs lighter than my stock 12.4" kit. so it'd be an even bigger weight savings for you guys
S4 kit will NOT fit. that person just posted the non-available 6 piston S4 kit 'cause it looks so good. if you look, mine is a 4 pist.
if you want to increase sweep area, increase power, increase cooling efficency BUT still run 17's, go with the 13" kit which is about $500 cheaper.
the other incredible bonus, the pedal feel is out of this world! thing is SO, SO easy to modulate.

Re: For all you guys NEEDING bigger brakes................ (M this 1!)

AFAIK, you cant fit Audi A4/S4 brakes on a Mk4 VW anyhow. If you really waned to get 14" brakes, check out the ECS Tuning ( http://www.ecstuning.com ) brake kit above. It is their Stg4 kit... and it is great. Had their Stg3 on my prev Mk4 and loved it.
However I really dont see the need for anything other than better pads on the R32 for now... if you are making more serious power (450+ HP) then yeah, bigger brakes.. but I am sure ECS is going to have their Stg5 kit out soon... they already have it on the Audi S4, its a 15" kit using the Porsche Cayenne caliper.. 6 piston, baby!

(EDIT) .. okay see you got 4piston R32/TT setup.. sounds good... yeah BTW Stasis stuff is good.. I am just local to ECS and love their products too... to each their own... good luck with the kit!
