    Audi OEM S3 310mm x 20mm drilled discs

    Price - circa $4,500 US
    AP runs the 365mm audi TTRS 8 pot BBK, cones with a 2 piece rotor...
    Beautiful setup and as for stopping power.... Well lets just say that it ripped my face off!! Its insane..

    Downside there is practically no real difference in weight between these and stock R32 brakes.. I might be wrong but they may be even slightly heavier from memory when i did the research on them..

    Is anyone running DBA gear?

    I was looking into the ClubSpec T3 4000/5000 rotors for replacement fronts. Although, I must admit, the styling isn't quite as nice as some.

    I've got VWR 6 pots w/ 355mm slotted discs (from Ian @ Rennenhaus) on the front of my 150kW TDI. Just did my first track day with them on the car. I highly recommend them.

    I did a session of about 20 laps of wakefield park flat out, using the brakes hard. I was stopping form about 160-165kmh at the end of the straight after going flat out through the kink and making turn 2 easily - I had to *wait* to get on the brakes they stopped that well. I ende dup doing 220kms on the track on thrusday and had zero problems with them. No fade, no heat problems, brake pedal didn't drop, no fluid heating issues. There was a little bit of dust, but less than I expected from the size of the pads and previous experience with Ferodo DS2500 pads. I put R32 brakes on the rear at the same time to keep the car balanced under brakes - with those the pedal feel is excellent and the car just stops.

    Easy install, too, unless you have Audi TT front control arms and ball joints like I do....

    You can never call yourself a real enthusiast when you judge. When you mix the immature and mature, you get this car scene we have today. No matter what, every car is winning in their own ways. If you don't like a certain vehicle, just keep your mouth shut. No one needs to hear negative comments. Just enjoy everything.
