Brake pads Ferodo or STOPTECH

Adam's front slotted rotors, Stoptech Performance front pads.

I have always followed a similar technique that I found from StopTech but it's cool to see what is happening while doing it. And for anyone doing this, it takes a good long drive to cool down everything before you come to a complete stop. I didn't watch the whole thing but heard the guy touch on it briefly and that is if you have to come to a complete stop do not leave your foot on the brake pedal as you will surely leave a big blotch of pad material in that one spot and then you will get the "warped rotor" feeling as that bit of the rotor will be extra grabby.

When I upgraded my brakes I had to measure them myself and give the information to StopTech so they knew what I had.

overhauled the brakes(all 4 corners): -calipers(rebuild) -discs(brembo) -pads (ferodo ds2500)

The rear brake pads I use all the time are ferodo 2500, they are great for the track and don't make noise on the street.

I used Ferodo DS-2500 and Mintex Redbox on my 337, and that was my favorite brake setup of three VWs to date. Then there is my brother-in-law's 335i Sport My goal with the 337 was to delay ABS activation, as I thought that the rear was overbraked. I don't recall whether the new pad setup helped in that regard, but the DS-2500 improved the initial bite a lot.

I love me some blanks and Ferodo pads. But the pads aren't too budget friendly ($90 a set) and they've quite dirty, but the stopping power is awsome.

I got the upgrade, it's definitely noticeable from the stock 11.3 in the 1.8ts and vr6s - but really, if you want best stop for budget, just upgrade the rotors to slotted for heat dissapation and some good ferodo pads... but if you do upgrade, you'll notice difference in stopping - as well as your acceleration since you have more rotaional mass at that point...

I did install Ferodo pads as well as the brake fluid flush at local Audi Dealership, however I do have some pulsation when I brake from higher speed. It is non existent in the city driving but on the highway my brake pedal pulsates a bit and I don't like this.
