Brake caliper Akebono or OEM Audi
I have installed those and drove them super hard at the track and they did great.
Pros: great performance, easy to install
Vehicle:

I was initially looking at these but I wasn't able to find many options for brake pads. A little bit of digging and I found that isweep makes their full range of pads. But the TTS calipers seem to be the best bang for the buck.
Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: few brake pad options
Vehicle:
Audi TTS
There is a huge difference in unsprung weight going to the TTS caliper - might want to highlight that as a selling point as well as noting that this set up is not only OEM+ but around half the price of say Neuspeed, Alcon, AP Racing, APR etc upgrades.
Pros: huge difference in weight, half the price
Vehicle:
Audi TTS
Hi, I've done a similar upgrade on my Golf MK2 back in 2012 using 280mm front disks from a Golf mk3 GTI and Audi S3 calipers.
Pros: similar upgrade, easy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Chrysler has a "kit" that is designed for the brake-swap (Teves -> Akebono) TSB has that everything you need apart from rotors - new calipers, brackets and pads, plus all hardware. See what you dealer's price is, when it first came out it was crazy cheap (like $100), it's a bit more now but even then when I bought the kit it was still cheaper than buying remanufactured calipers and brackets.
Pros: cheap kit, easy to install

i have the audi twin piston caliper/G60 rotor setup in the front of my 16vT GLI. i think theyre great, i can lock up the brakes at 50mph if i want so braking power is def not an issue.
Pros: great braking power
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I'm running the audi calipers and G60 11" rotors and drums in the rear. love the brakes on my car
Pros: love the brakes
Cons: audi calipers boat anchors
I used some dual piston calipers from the Audi, and the fit under my 15's with like a quarter inch clearance. These are more braking power than is needed. The pads are much larger than the stock pads, and if you really step into the pedal they will lock the tires up at any speed!
Pros: more braking power
Cons: lock the tires up
Vehicle:
Audi
I just put the audi 2 piston calipers and SS lines on the front of my 2.0. Also put ATE super blue in. Haven't done ther rear conversion or lines yet. What I have noticed is that the pedal goes further before it starts to clamp, but when it does..... its almost like driving a hummer, if any of you have you know what i mean. Any ideas on the reason for that change?
Pros: abrupt clamp
Cons: pedal goes further
The biggest problem with the Girling 60s is the weight, and the fact that the calipers are designed for 10 5/8" rotors, so they aren't a perfect fit with Corrado G60 11.0" brake rotors that they are used with.
Cons: weight, not perfect fit
