I have a project in my mind (but this is out of topic )

I will stay with 16inch Volks, and I want to upgrade my brake performance. The only brake kit I know (for 16") is the Spoon... But it's a BIT overpriced... 3.500euro???? God, I can buy a 6pot 330mm Amuse with that money..

I also know that project mu makes a nice kit but their site is a bit strange and I don't knoiw anything 'bout this kit..


Please help guys, and if you can, post some pics..

Stock is fine, just upgrade pads and fluid as needed. Some of our most extreme race-prepped S2Ks (running on huge rims with full race slicks) are still using the stock system without any problems.

The Spoon Monoblocks shouldn't cost that much, and you don't need aftermarket rotors as the stock rotors are fine. What will dramatically improve the brakes for extended track use are what twohoos suggested: pads and fluid. The calipers are nice because they save weight and improve pedal feel as well as improved braking performance.

I believe they require 3mm spacers. That is still very reasonable, however.
