Everytime I would check killerbrakes.com, the kit was not in stock or had rotor options I didn't like/want.
Would you be able to weigh one of the StopTech rotors before fitting them please?
Progress.
Shipping FedEx from Latvia was faster then UPS from California, so still waiting on parts.
Also note that if ordering like I did from e-Acca, the calipers come with the clip kits, meaning you don't need to order them separately. That will save $20 off of the cost. I wasn't aware of this and ordered them, so I now have 2 sets. I updated my post in message #298 to state this and to update the cheapest cost breakdown.
Would you be able to do me a favour and measure the length of the callipers for me?Not yet, hoping to have them on by the end of the month.

They look great combined with the Stoptech rotors. Didn't realise you had a black car .... good choice!
How's the feel of the brake pedal?
Did you, or are you going to do the OBD11 modulation change like some are doing with the Macan callipers?
I've bought a 2nd hand set (as they're going to be painted) which should be here within a week. I'm just trying to decide what rotors I'm going to use. As for pads, I think I'll be buying TAROX fast road Strada.
Thanks!
IMO, the brake pedal feels a little soft. I am going to tinker with the OBD11 changes to see if that helps. I seem to recall Clem64 saying his felt better after making the changes.
Keep us posted on your progress.
The brake pedal feel is immensely improved by turning off the "Hydraulic Brake Boost" setting. There is another setting, which I forgot the name of, that in conjunction with disabling the brake boost setting really gives you the linear pedal feel you would want.How's the feel of the brake pedal?
