The r32 front brakes are better than the 225tt kit.Depends what your using them for,personally i think that the brembo grand turismo kit will provide all the fast road stopping power you will ever need.I have a porsche 993tt kit on the front of my s3 but these are quite ?? but look pretty bling.

R32 brakes will be much better than the 312mm kit which I had as standard on my car, they faded quite easily in my experience.
I upgraded to the ECS stage 2v2 kit and its much better:

How much does it cost for the r32 conversion?

Also is it worthwhile considering the porsche brembos? How easy is to fit them?

Of course its worth considering superior 4pots over R32 2pots!!
As for fitting, I did them myself in around 2.5hrs and have never fitted brakes before but I did get my fluid changed by a local dealer the following day.
