Discs and Pads

[MikeParkin]

What after market discs and pads are you guys running with standard calipers ?

Interested in this too. Also how often should I expect to have to change the pads on rotors on my S3?

Might be helpful to state what your aims and desires are. Are you after better progression, better resistance to fade, less noise, less dusting... or are you just after an undefined "better" brake set up? If so, then you might also consider sticking with stock, they seem to be more than capable.

It's just a consideration rather than getting a BBK.

I considered a BBK but was put off by :-

1. Extra weight
2. Front / rear brake bias
3. Reduced clearance to wheel rim
4. Mismatch in appearance front to rear
5. Having to remove disc backing plates.

Went for ECS two piece discs and EBC Yellowstuff pads instead with S/S brake lines all round and some decent dot4 fluid.

6. Price

LoL

From what I've seen BBK wise I'd probably go Stoptech 4 or 6 pot with 355 disc - that looks like a great balance of stopping power and weight.
