Brake discs Brembo or EBC
I have ebc slotted rotors and yellow stuff pads they make a huge difference. Especially when it comes to heat.
i was on the fence about buying them and i did a bunch of research and after speaking with my buddy who is a mechanic and owns a tundra he said that the powerstop brakes aren't great and if you don't have the money to do the tundra swap, to get the brembo rotors and either akebono or brembo pads. ive been driving with this setup for about six months and have had no issues. the braking feel and stopping power has noticeably improved.
The best stopping combination so far on my 08 sedan with 140K is Brembo UV Coated rotors and Advanced Auto Parts Carquest Wearever Gold Semi-Metallic Brake Pads Previously I had Zimmerman rotors and Hawk HPS pads, I got a grinding feeling/noise when stopping. The Carquest pads dust like OEM but for the stopping power and smoothness/linear feel I will put up with it.
Yeah I had to personally cut 2 pairs of slotted EBC rotors brand new on account of pulsation, the front already has EBC slotted rotors and red stuff pads which stop excellent, the difference was night an day.
Completed, - Rear EBC rotors and pads
Best bang for buck brake setup on a Corrado/Mk3 Front: 11.3 DE's with Tyrol Sport Bushings and a proper pad and brembo OE rotors Rear: Stock rear, Mk4 Calipers, proper pads, and brembo OE rotors. Rotor material is too often overlooked and a must for proper performance. Brembo seems to have the best metallurgy IMO.
I did buy replacement rotors (Brembo) and pads (Bosch quietcast) from FCP and I have no complaints.
I've been running slotted and cross-drilled rotors on my A4 for 5 years. I've never had one crack, but I don't autocross. For my latest set I looked for drilled, but not slotted, rotors because my last set buffeted at high-speed braking, which feels shaky and unstable, and I read that was because of the slots.
Some people will get an error when trying to get their xenons to go into adaptation mode. I played with my setup and got a MIL. My rear level sensor is a good bit off, so it throws my xenons off no matter what. Ill need to tap a new hole and play with positioning in order to get the measurement back to where the car will auto adjust again. Ill let u guys know what I come up with, along with a really easy to follow write up.
EBC stuff is crap ATE is the gangster.
