I think it is time to replace my front discs on my S4. Car has revo stage 1 so thinking of upgrading? Can anyone recommend a decent setup with an improvement over standard that does not cost the earth?

http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/b8-big-brakes-thread.289613/ is a decent thread on brakes
Currently running a set of the ECS 2 piece wave rotors with EBC Yellow Stuff pads and cannot fault them. They are not cheap but offer a much better braking system in my opinion to OEM. These are the 3rd set of discs/pads that I have changed over my ownership and if buying on a budget I can recommend the following which I put on the 1st time I needed the brakes changed http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EBC-FRONT-REAR-DISCS-AND-PADS-FOR-AUDI-S4-3-0-SUPERCHARGED-333-BHP-2008-11-/141818890018?fits=Car+Make:Audi|Cars+Type:S4+quattro&hash=item2105108722:g:sJUAAOSwAYtWOKuJ
The 2nd time I used the same EBC discs as above but changed the pads to EBC Yellows on the rear and Ferodo DS2500 on the front.

I got my ECS discs from Awesome GTI but looks like the price has gone up quite a bit in the last few months.
They do Tarox discs

And the ECS 2 piece discs

Think it's all imported from the USA so after Brexit the pound is week against the dollar, typical as I am off to New York next week!
ECS are American and I suspect the price hike may be related to the drop in the exchange rate.
