OK, lets start this topic rolling.
The brakes on my S3 have been crap since new. It took 2000+ miles before they felt like they were bedded in, and fade was reduced to [fade after] 5-6 roundabouts rather than [fade after] 3-4 roundabouts. Now I wish I'd got them checked out around that time, because a recent visit to an Audi Dealer (Links, Macclesfield) resulted in them saying "Yes the brakes do feel spongy" but they can't do anything with disks and pads now under warranty, because I've covered 7500+ miles. Their recommendation is to go with aftermarket disks, pads and fluid change.
I know couple of people on here who are running after-market disks and pads...
Domus - is running EBC grooved&dimpled disks with EBC green pads
Howie - is running Dubsport drilled disks all round, with Pagid fast road pads
Both Peter and Howie say the brakes are a big improvement over stock, has anyone tried any other disks and pad combinations?
I've sent e-mails to Tarox, AP Racing and Alcon regarding disks for the S3. Still waiting for them to reply.
Cheers
