When I went to my dealer in NoVa, they recommended a indie guy. He came to my place, replace it with an OEM Pilkington w/ Rain sensor in about 3 hours.
If anybody is looking for sport pads for the TT-S Mk3 ATE calipers... FRI.TECH. is the sport pads brand name for Metelli, a huge Italian manufacturer of car parts. TTS pad shape is 1127 They make sport pads in two compounds, RS60 and RS80. RS60 is the fast road / track day pad, similar to DS Uno or Pagid RSL 29. A bit of squeal but very nice bite and fade resistance.
I was initially looking at these but I wasn't able to find many options for brake pads. A little bit of digging and I found that isweep makes their full range of pads. But the TTS calipers seem to be the best bang for the buck.
There is a huge difference in unsprung weight going to the TTS caliper - might want to highlight that as a selling point as well as noting that this set up is not only OEM+ but around half the price of say Neuspeed, Alcon, AP Racing, APR etc upgrades.
Pilkington is OEM. I had my windshield replaced, and it's the same as the other windows minus the Audi Rings.
I ordered Zimmermann 100336770 from Eeuroparts because they looked totally different from the factory disks and seem to have good reviews. I am happy to say they have completely cured my brake judder and the car is a pleasure to drive.
my consumption was terrible when running Castrol .... Now it's pretty decent .... Especially for winter time .... Liquimoly is ace.
It helped significantly! Went from burning Castrol to liquimoly which burns way less. Also I use a liquimoly sealer now and then to reduce consumption.
Update for all those following along. My brakes were the best they've ever been today - on a very, very hot day (feels-like temp over 100). I had a vibration with light brake pressure, but pressed on giving more pressure and found that as the brakes got more heat in them, and I went deeper into the braking zone, the vibration disappeared. All was well, but after checking the rotors, they appear to have developed cracks.
Audi 2.7T engine found in B5 S4 & C5 A6 + Allroad Notorious for oil leaks from valve covers + cam/crank seals, very high operating temperatures (causing cooling issues), various sensors failing way too early, complex to work on, tight fit especially in B5 S4.
