Brake pads OEM FORD or OEM Audi

I had my S3 in last Friday and the dealership managed to fix my tick/click. I took a video of the noise before taking it in for service but it didn't turn out as well as nikhsub1's; however, the noise was almost identical to nikhsub1's but mine only happened when turning to the right. I would hazard a guess that it may be the same issue some are experiencing with the R. I didn't get the chance to talk to the technician directly but the service writer described the issue as a loose pin or tab on the brakes that was making contact with the rotor.

I saw a review of the GTI with the PP and the reviewer said the brakes on the PP are the same brakes used on the Audi S3.

They replaced everything brakewise, pads/discs/calipers/.. and everything on charge of Audi ofc.

I've done lots of jobs that don't involve getting inside the engine, such as replacing brake rotors/pads, alternators, starters, shocks, accessory/alternator belts, etc.

If this is going to take off you need to make sure it will work for those with upgraded brakes, specifically the Audi 8 pot and 362mm ap discs setup.

In terms of driving impressions, well...it feels heavy and clumsy around town. The steering is very heavy...forget twirling the wheel with a finger. The shifter is mounted low and away. It takes effort to shift, and it's very solid and mechanical (rod shifter). The clutch is progressive but the friction point is not very obvious. Ride is quite good, and push through the clumsy feeling and she can dance. Brakes are hysterically soft, typical for a SHO.

I was still on the original pads/rotors when I sold it back in '04 and not a day goes by that I don't miss it.

I found a nominal improvement in braking power and feel with the 12.3". But as NOVAdub stated, the biggest impact was on repeatability.

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

I can't believe the brakes used here, this is after all the 'Sport' model out of the Taurus lineup so therefor it should have received a better braking setup.
