    Are they stock calipers or aftermarket. Been looking at doing my ap calipers myself as one piston isn't fully returning.

        Consider upgrading to B7 S4 300mm discs and matching callipers.

        Plug 'n play, just need to get the correct brake hoses.

        Not the cheapest option admittedly, unless you can source them second hand.

        But very much better than standard.

              Big Red are an option, quite pricy, I was quoted £190 for a refurbishing and painting a set of rear S8 calipers.

              Isn't there a forum member who refurbs brembo calipers too?
