Brake pads STOPTECH or OEM Audi

I use the Stoptech Street Performance pads and they do a good job. ABS comes on with most 200TW tires... but I havne't tried the RE71R yet. Can't ask your brakes to do much more.

I run Stoptech Street Perfomance pads on my Miata and my Mustang. The Stoptech pads, from what I can tell, don't bite as hard as the Hawk pads people like to run, but they seem to be more linear in their braking response. And this might hold true for all pads, but the Stoptechs, especially on a cooler day, need a run or some sort of warm-up before they really feel good. Once they do get a bit of heat into them, they really feel nice and predictable.

Stoptech brake test mounted to the spindles. I buffed off the Stoptech logo with buffing compound. I prefer the understated look.

Actually just installed a set in my MK6 GLI and they are a whole lot better than the OEM branded pads.

There is a noticeable difference between OEM pads and these along with high temp brake fluid when doing 20 min sessions at Portland International Raceway... less fade and shorter stopping distance. Also the pads are still quiet and about same brake dust as OEM.

I went with the Powerstop slotted/cross drilled rotors, and Stoptech Sport pads on my Impreza, and they're awesome. The Stoptechs are Semi-metallics and initial bite is really good compared to the ceramics I previously had.

My car has smaller brakes than yours, so I was able to downsize to a 245 45R17 for winter use from the 255 35R19 summers and the car is so much smoother but still can handle just as good.

I have a full Stoptech setup (4 slotted rotors and street pads) on my MK6 GTI right now, and I like how it feels and performs. I used to have just Stoptech rear pads on OEM rotors, and it seemed to perform just fine as well. The downside (in my experience) with the street pads is that they dust a LOT, especially the rears.

I love Centric (more specifically StopTech, their performance brand). I use StopTech cryo rotors on all my cars, my TL has the slotted cryos. I really -do not- like their pads though. For some reason the stopping power was just not like Akebono or Red/Yellow stuff. They are super quiet and low/no dust which is great.

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