RS4 Brake upgrade

[rs666]

They don't have product stuff on the site yet.

They aren't on the market yet, but I have done about £4k miles on them with some hard drives and they seem good. Will give Ed a call on Tuesday and ask what the situation is with supply. Not sure what the retail is as mine are trade supplied.

Nige, EBC are now putting out pads at approx £110 for the RS6 calipers,

Wow, that is a good price - I was looking at some pagid fast road pads at £275 & vagparts want £173+VAT for OEM pads - ouch!

[rs666]

oops a bit wrong on price,

better prices to be had if you phone around/haggle

[CliveH]

I made a mistake too!

These are the ones I was referring to - £104, Lucas, but only fit with a bit of filing...

unfortunately, none of these will ship outside of the US

Good luck if you go the EBC route, nothing but trouble in my experience. Happy to be corrected thought.

DavidT, what probs did you have with EBC pads.... Red Stuff seem ok to me but I don`t do track days

[DavidT]

Lots, only used greens but noisy, lots of material transfer, they 'bite' the discs when braking from high speeds (hot or cold) etc.

[rs666]

I was warned off Greens and found Reds to be excellent

[Nige_RS4]

I tried EBC greens on my S4 and they took at least 5 mins to warm up - I can only imagine the reds to be worse still???

Standard or uprated callipers Nige ?

[Nige_RS4]

Std S4 calipers (4 pads per caliper piston) - replaced them with pagid fast road and there was a noticeable difference i.e. no warm up period.
