New front brakes

Well after my 4 year service during which I also had an MOT, new cambelt and new rear brakes, I now need to consider doing the front brakes as apparently the discs are getting very low. The car has just gone over 45k miles, so not toooo bad I suppose.

My conundrum is, do I just go for standard brakes, or do I pick up a set of 312mm Audi TT's.

I don't drive fast, but the car is remapped, they'll look nice behind my Audi alloys, but apart from looking nice will I really get any benefit from a triple spend?

I'd also need to find somewhere/body to fit them, me and doing stuff to cars (apart from cleaning) just don't go together. Although I can do replacement bulbs and managed to fit the PD160 intake

Re: New front brakes

you could just get uprated ones (same size but from black diamond or EBC)?

but if the cost adds up then might as well go 312mm...
