New pads, rotors and brake lines....
Would it benefit me to replace the pads, rotors and brake lines w/o upgrading to 4 piston calipers or buying some $5,000 race brake set? Just want some opinions. In my haste to purchase an audi I didn't factor into my budget the necessary performance upgrades to increase enjoyment and equally reduce the likelyhood of killing myself. Thanks!

are you tracking the car? if so and are on a budget, good pads/fluid/lines will go a long way...
if you're serious about tracking the car, then the stoptech or similar BBK(big brake kits) is what you want. They generally go for between 1300(boxster caliper kit) to 2600 for brembo GT kit

Sounds like a good plan, I seem to remember seeing some cross drilled rotors for sale somewhat (more
inexpensively. So, I'll definately keep that in mind. Not a bad deal at all. I somehow find it scary that I'm trying to save money on brakes, but whatchya gonna do.... Thanks you so much!
