Mine have been remapped to MRC Stage 1. Brake discs/ pads are due to be replaced soon, wondering if it is worth for the brake upgrades. Considering RS5 brakes straight swap (expensivie though)? Anyone can share their opinions or exeperience. are there any other options?

For less than half the price of the RS calipers, I believe theres a Q5 brembo 4 pot caliper thats a straight swap and a damn site cheaper. Part number for the calipers 8R0615107A

Thanks for the tips. Are the Q5 brakes significantly better than the OEM S4's?

Is a 4 pot caliper better than a single pot sliding one? Just a tad. Theres a thread over on Audisport about this.
