Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Audi
I took the liberty of swapping my A4 brakes into S4 brakes, all for 600 dollars. The brakes should response much better, stronger, and use much less pedal force. Your brakes when the engine is off should be REALLY hard if properly bled.
Pros: stronger response, less pedal force
Vehicle:
Audi A4

overhauled the brakes(all 4 corners): -calipers(rebuild) -discs(brembo) -pads (ferodo ds2500)
Pros: new discs, new pads
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Part number: DS2500
The rear brake pads I use all the time are ferodo 2500, they are great for the track and don't make noise on the street.
Pros: great for the track
Cons: no noise on street
I used Ferodo DS-2500 and Mintex Redbox on my 337, and that was my favorite brake setup of three VWs to date. Then there is my brother-in-law's 335i Sport My goal with the 337 was to delay ABS activation, as I thought that the rear was overbraked. I don't recall whether the new pad setup helped in that regard, but the DS-2500 improved the initial bite a lot.
Pros: improved the initial bite

Volkswagen
I love me some blanks and Ferodo pads. But the pads aren't too budget friendly ($90 a set) and they've quite dirty, but the stopping power is awsome.
Pros: awsome stopping power
Cons: quite dirty, not budget friendly
I got the upgrade, it's definitely noticeable from the stock 11.3 in the 1.8ts and vr6s - but really, if you want best stop for budget, just upgrade the rotors to slotted for heat dissapation and some good ferodo pads... but if you do upgrade, you'll notice difference in stopping - as well as your acceleration since you have more rotaional mass at that point...
Pros: noticeable difference in stopping
Cons: more rotational mass
Well, I was talking abou OEM rotors with DS2500 pads, not OEM pads. I replaced the stock pads after 30k wich was reasonable but DS2500s have much higher friction coeff.
Pros: higher friction coeff

Volkswagen
Mileage: 30000 km
Yeah use OEM rotors with DS2500 pads. That will be a great setup! Actually, DS2500 might be a bit too much for street, since they are pretty dusty and a little noisy.
Pros: great setup
Cons: dusty and noisy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Anyone with TTRS fronts has this problem? I definitely noticed this problem ever since I installed Audi TTRS front brakes. I also use Carbs.
Cons: problem noticed after install
