what pads have you been using currently?

i am debating to go down the performance friction route myself but doug advised the standard B7 pads are better
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

Superb bite when warm compared to oem. If you track the car they are far better IMO.

Yes I use them all the time. I got mine from Performance braking in Monmouth. Make sure if you order, to ask for two boxes as there only 4 pads per box!
