Brake pads Brembo or OEM Audi
Those Brembo brakes haul the car down from silly speeds repeatedly on the track with no sign of fade or sogginess.
Hi Black betty... here's the bottom line,.... if the S3 brakes can be purchased and fitted to your car within your budget, then buy the brakes. I've got S3 brakes on my Mk4 Gti, and beyond a dogbone mount, they're the best value mod possible. For performance road applications, the brakes are superb and miles beyond stock Gti brakes.
i didn't know we had brembo brakes.
also, bang for the buck...a pair of used S4 brakes do the job for street driving that's what i'm running and it's marked improvement over the crappy stock brakes.
My friend has them on his 91 MR2 and he said he can feel the diference from stock and that they squeak a tiny bit during light braking.
cad plated brembo cross-drilled w/ PBR metal master pads. I'm not nice to brakes (auto-x has a tendancy to do that). But, this set up has lasted me 1.5+ plus. Why should I switch to anything else? And yes, the car is driven year round.
I have brembo's w/mintex I'm happy with performance but they rusted. I will spend the extra $ to get cad plated next time.
If everything bolted together like it should, the brakes would be great although you might need wheel spacers for the stock wheels as the caliper bodies portude slightly.
So what pads are you using with the Brembos? Was it $320 for four discs?
If you want an honest oppinion, do not run these brakes, just get yourself a corrado set up w/ good pads and you will be more than happy.
