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!

Do a K04 in your car. The K03 is what's in there already.

You may look into a set of used S4 brakes. Those are a big improvement over sstock and can be had for around $500 or so. Or the afore-mentioned A8 rotors with the TT carriers. That also lets you upgrade to the Porsche Boxter calipers at a later date.
