Brake pads DIXCEL or OEM Audi

Upgraded rotors (paragon 2 piece) and dixcel type z pads.

They handle brake fade quite well. Did a run down tail of the dragon and had no issues.

Paid £420 + £180 fitting for mine front and back on a 2019 Audi A4 by going via Euro Car Parts when the Audi garage quoted £1200!!

Got a 2014 DSG and find around town it’s 22-26 mpg but 35 on long motorway runs.

Dixcel m pads good stopping and ultra low dust.

Audi 4 piston front brakes - 26lbs lighter

had a track day over the weekend and saw that a hard, black substance that seems a little rubbery had formed on the brakes. The brake pads are Dixcel ES brake pads. I had not bedded them in and instead street drove with it for a couple months as the website suggested. Brake grease was placed on the pad surface contacting caliper. The track has lots of left turns and I braked from 170+ kmh to 80kmh on the first corner. I'm pretty new so i may have braked deep as I was turning. The substance formed heavily on right front wheel, less on left front and none on rear. Brakes were smoking lightly when i came into the pits. Braking feel didn't change throughout the day as I continued lapping. Car still tracked straight. I tried not to brake too hard and didn't observe any other substance buildup.

Since starting my drive from NY to NJ daily, ALL my previous cars, Audi Q5 and Toyota Sienna, will start "brake and shake" or was it "shake and brake".. at about a year in at around 10k-15k miles. I am guilty of heavy braking so with it comes excess wear.

As someone who has a TTRS, the brakes blow. Heavy, overheat, poor feel, and expensive rotors/pads.

Anyone with TTRS fronts has this problem? I definitely noticed this problem ever since I installed Audi TTRS front brakes. I also use Carbs.
