That's where you get Alcon's from is Stasis, it's a great company. The center diff upgrade is awesome! It really helps with turn in, & makes the car "feel" lighter. To bad they don't have one for a TIP. [:-]

That center diff upgrade sounds pretty sweet. I'mthink when I get around to getting coilovers I'm probably going to do thatas well.

Alcon>Brembo>Stoptech>>>>>> ;>>>>>>>>>>>>& gt;>>>>>>>>>>>> ;>>>Anything ECS>Stock
ECS has had problems with carriers cracking. Bias is an issue even with all their physics babble on their site. They are taking calipers meant for another car and tossing them on an Audi. The top three above actually make the piston diamter match the car foe more even bias.
There a re quite a number of people from other forums who track regularly that have ditched their ECS kits in favor of the first three above. No on has said it was a bad move.
If you don't track and just want the bling of big brakes, then more power to ya with the ECS stuff.

On another topic, are there any issues with their clutch kits? That's next on my list, and the S4 clutch kit looks nice.

RE: Brake upgrade.. suggestions??
Idk to sum it up ive been lookin around at pricing & have to be honest didnt expect to be paying as much as i would have to.. then again i hadnt ever really looked into brakes a whole lot..
Soo basically i dont need a $3000 6-piston drilled & slotted brembo kit for my car.. i dont plan on ever having more than 300 hp and if so that wouldnt be for awhile when i upgrade my turbo later this year in the spring probably.. which i would probably just go k03 cuz the car has a decent amount of mileage as is so im not gunna drop too much in it also being that im gunna need money for college lol.. so im just tryin to look for a quality, good looking, set of brakes that could handle a car with that kind of power for not an outrageous amount of money
Im not too knowledgable with brakes as is i will admit soo any help on what direction to take would be awesome lol.. thanks!
