Front brake upgrade
My front brakes are worn out, so at least discs and pads need to be replaced.
My car is mainly for street use (do intend to pick up some trackdays next years, but that will be max two or three a year) and I am preparing for an engine upgrade to Audi V8.
What I read so far as input from at least the racing side is that the base brakes are actually good enough and the S-brakes are just added weight. Surely that is with upgraded pads.
But how about predominantly street use? As we have Germany close by the car will likely see high speeds and needs to be able to brake effectively to a standstill.
Is an upgrade to S-brakes sensible (Discs, pads, calipers and MC)? Would really like your opinion on this. On the rear I have 987 base brakes (which are essentially the same as 986 base rears except for the drilled rotors).
I'll also check with the government (RDW) on any specific brake requirements for the engine swap.
