should i upgrade my brakes?????
i am in the process of doing extensive work to my 98 1.8t manual trans.
now i have about 112 k on the car and my brakes need to be changed no biggie just the pads and maybe do some rotor work!! my question is i am putting an intake, turbo back, dv, and chipping it. also getting a new stage 2 clutch i wont be over 260 bhp for a while until i go bt with next years tax return should i invest in the stock brakes or go with bigger brakes already and save the hassle of doing it when i go bt????
and as i put my stage 2 clutch should i do anything to my drive shaft to prevent damage to it as i enjoy my clutch LOL
thanks

a8 fronts and s4 rears are the cheapest bbk but you'll be using the stock calipers. you want a full bbk kit, expect to pay quite a lot
and you wont be close to 260bhp with stock turbo. with those mods you listed you'll be ~215bhp

your right i meant 260 lb of torque, wich is probably still wrong but that is my estimate taking in mind that just the chip gets me to 215 lb torque and 205 hp so yea......

dont wanna blow my joints cuz im having too much fun with my clutch!!!!!
