I have a set of Raclingline monobloc four pot calipers. Its a fantastic kit which comes with calipers, discs and lines. Easy enough to fit and fantastic feel. I went for the red ones which look great as well :)

The Revo kit produced by Alcon look beautiful and I would imagine a proper kit. Wonder if you could get Clubsport S on the side instead of REVO??

It is a superb kit and Alcon are superb. I run Alcons all round on the 3er. But then they are also a serious price too. The Forge kit is much cheaper and still a 6 pot caliper I believe.

Do you have any pics of your setup?

Thanks so much for your advice mate. Would love to see the Alcon setup on your 3er.

I had Alcons on my old track MKV, that'd stand on its nose all day. Proper stuff, not scene stuff.

IMO you'd be as well getting some decent pads/lines/fluid on your existing setup. I can't think of any iteration of OE Brembo setup on a VAG car that's worked well, compared to a proper Alcon/AP/etc kit. Which is odd, as others make OE Brembo work fine. Both my M135is, my RS200 Cup..

Think it would be better and go balls out and purchase the REVO kit.
