I would recommend the TT brakes. Choose plain rotors if you are wary of drilled or slotted rotors, but those brakes with hawk pads (or something more appressive) should be fine. The added lever arm does help substantially, as well as the larger piston over stock.

Pros: added lever arm, larger piston
Vehicle: Audi TT

You will also find the HAWK HPS pads to be nice, however they do get more grabby after a few stops once they get some heat into them being that they are a middle of the road performance street pad. The HPS's will never be as grabby/difficult to modulate as the ultimate ceramics/stock pads though.

Pros: good for modulation, decent price
Cons: grabby after stops

I'm running the ECS Stage 2v2 front and 1R rear BBKs, with Hawk HP+ in the front and HPS in the rear. I am running Pentosin Racing brake fluid. I have yet to experience fade on the track running this set-up

Pros: no fade on track

HPS: For me, an excellent daily driver pad. My only issue with them is in rain they seem to take some time to "burn off" water, so initially, your stopping distance is increased. Once you warm up the rotors, the pads are fine. This may be exacerbated by the fact that I run the ECS 2v2 front brakes and by their very properties, they tend to run cool. As for initial bite in the cold, I can say these are quite good. I feel that they are a great compromise between preformance and low dust (I've never had a problem with these being dusty).

Pros: excellent daily driver pad, good initial cold bite, low dust
Cons: increased stopping distance in rain

On my 20th, I swapped to Hawk HPS within a couple of months of having the car. Now, after 40K miles on the pads, I find that they dust considerably less than stock, stop at least as well as OEM, and work well when cold.

Pros: dust considerably less, work well when cold

Acabei de instalar algumas pastilhas Hawk que não vieram com o sensor e o som de aviso e a luz já estão começando a me deixar um pouco louco.

Pros: pastilhas Hawk instaladas
Cons: som de aviso irritante

Yes the brakes fit NO wheels really fit over them. - Huge spacers will fix this - not good for your ride. - Brake balance will be grossly forward biased. Lesson: Buy a brake kit designed for your vehicle or just get better pads.

Cons: brake balance forward biased
