I thought about it, but brand new it was about $1500 with new calipers and oem rotors. I am not sure what pad choices will be out, and in what time frame and also the MK8 uses a different master cylinder than the MK7.
So, I just went with a ST-60 kit, which is made for the platform, has tons of pad choices and probably the best mod I did to the car.
I went with the Macan Brembo upgrade, which is half the cost, or less, though I know you didn't have good luck when you tried it.
