Hi,
I did a brake conversion on my 2016 A4 avant 2.0 tfsi 252bhp. I upgrade the front and rear brakes from a 2017 S5 F53 3.0 Petrol 354bhp. I modded the rear brakes so that they have the dust cap on it (see pics for end result).
The discs are oem Audi S5. The brakepads front are Brembo (p85165)and rear ATE (AT602796). I also upgraded the brakelines to braided. Cosmetically I am fully satisfied. They look oem enough to me.
The brake performance is better with harder braking. The general feel of the conversion is different. My only problem left now is the smoothness of the brakes. It's not that smooth as the oem brakes. Mainly the first centimeters that you press the pedal is where the oem brakes were just perfect. Now you first have to find/feel the brake pressure and from there it's the same (but stronger) brake pressure as before.
Does anyone know how to improve the smoothness? Or is acceptance key here?
The other thing is that te discs are getting really hot. Truth be told is stress them a lot but i didn't notice before they were getting so hot. Would perforated discs help?
