will do mate..to be honest though i rekon the pads are close to gone, reason being crap..my dads caddy van has better brakes than me.! probally be early august..gotta wait one more week for money then order the discs!
yer and being just 50kg lighter than an s3 to.! well the tqs are..so mine are worse than yours lol
update!
Got my ferodo pads the other day.
looking on ebay for the black diamond discs and came across some stating for a seat leon.
Would these be ok for my car, im guessing they are 312mm standard in a seat leon fr. they going at £135 rather than £180 .

there sitting in my front room atm lol got to contact my mechanic to see when hes avaiable. but they look mahoosive, will feel so much better to drive with them!
So are the calipers the same as an S3 on the TQS ?? just different carriers to make room for the larger diameter discs ??
youve got it marky boy, they dont have to be s3 thow you can also use skoda vrs, i think the anny spec golfs had 312mm aswell also the tt, i would like to go that little bit bigger and get the r32 brakes on mine when funds aloud it
Kos ive got hopefully 70 years left and dont trust myself lol! hes only charging £40 anyway. And yes marky. callipers cost me £100 then i bought some audi tt discs, as long as there vag and 312mm therell be ok. i was thinking of going big brakes, but not planning on any serious speed untill like 3 years time, so i dont see a point in having brembos on a 180bhp car imo. plus funds dont allow is more the reason!.
definately the s3 and tt, and the others must be the same, but when i was asking about mine, i was told s3/tt, should be a worthwhile upgrade. isnt too dear really.
Does anyone have the partnumber for for the S3/TT carriers ??? or know how much they are new from Audi ??
dont even consider audi!.. they said to me, there not cheap mate, they was £150 each, best bet is ebay, i found 4 sellers, just otff them about £90.

then just email them for the s3 carriers only, not the brake calipers.
