Hey all, come down to two options for the rear brake upgrade, first is going to S8 rotors/spacers...which I believe costs 480 if these prices are still good:

The S8 part numbers again (rotor: 8E0 615 301B, ($80.84 list); carrier: 4D0 615 425C, ($146.60 list)):

Second option is the ECS stage 1 rear kit for 700.

My question is cosmeticly the ECS would probably look better and it's only 200 more really. However, if I could find the S8 parts cheaper elsewhere (i.e. 300 or less for both rotors and spacers) that would probably be better.

Does anyone know where I can get these parts a tad cheaper? I checked classifieds and nothing popped up.

Any help/opinions would be appreciated.

I found (and fitted) used RS4 rears

Rear brakes don't do a whole lot on our cars... I've read many people using a aggressive BBK up front, with a quality rotor and pad on the stock rear brakes...

This sounds like a nice solution. What is the difference?

I went with slotted OEM rotors (DBA from Tantrumwerks) and more aggressive pads at the track - seems to work well, and it wasn't at all expensive.

the spindle.

I have the S8 rears, if you don't like tinkering, then go with a kit. This is NOT direct plug and play. Close, but not direct.

I want more stopping power because I don't feel the stocks ones are up to par...and a big brake kit in the front would probably solve all my problems, but in the rear those 10" discs look like crap with my 19" rims.

I have the front and rear ECS kit. Had a problem with the fronts and it was taken care of under warranty - they stood behind the product. The rears look and work great.

Actually slightly too much rear bias with Stoptech 332 fronts, but not a problem as ABS stops them from locking. Huge increase in stopping power.CHEAP!!

With the stock brakes there seems to be way too little rear-bias. Anyway, thanx! :-)
