I've ran the Porsche Boxter set up which are Brembo 4 pots and were great

MK6 has AP racing 4 pots with 330 discs which are more than up to the job

If you go TTRS make you they are TTRS discs not RS3

Try the mk6 section

Don't think you will get a huge improvement by just changing discs and pads, it will restore the braking to what it was like when new. Stainless steel brake lines will give a firmer pedal, but will not make the braking any better. You can get some brass bushes that replace the rubber bushes, supposed to maintain the alignment of the pads, but I tried them and they did not make much difference.

If you want real improvement try using Porsche calipers, see thread below:

My brakes squeak from the rear when pulling away sometimes, but my MK4 also used to do it.

Wondering if its a caliper sticking slightly.. :/
