RS4 B5 Brake Pad Upgrade

Post by usualsuspect » Sun Aug 08, 2010 5:38 pm

Hi everyone. My B5 is due a Pad change soon so I was just wondering what your views would be on what PADS I should upgrade my standard OEM ones with?

I use Carbotech XP8 front and rear.
Done a few trackdays with RBF600 brake fluid. No fade what so ever.
Greatly recommended.

ive had these pads in the past. only prob i would say is due to the material and heat generated by braking the tend to stick to the wheel and after a while will pretty much destroy your wheels.
Avus B5 RS4, Miltek down pipes/No cats/Miltek Cat-back, Wagner uprated SMIC's, short shifter, B7 brakes, Phaeton brake ducts, H&R ARB's, H&R Coilovers, AWE DTS, MRC custom Remap + water meth injection = BIG GRIN on my face with poo in my passengers pants

**Now with a Carbon roof**

Hummmm i havent had any issues with destroyed wheels. They do dust alot though so you have to wash the wheels/car pretty often :(

Regarding heat issues so yea the drawback of runing a pretty aggresive pad on stock calipers and discs :(
