In reply to 88avante, the difference is night and day. I did the upgraded rotors (drilled and slotted) and chose Hawk ceramic street pads as well. The stopping power improvement is dramatic. Nail the brakes at any speed below 50mph and you stop NOW. There seems to be no fade in the driving I've put mine through (had them about six months), and the ability of the car to shed speed quickly and without drama is great. In sum, it's all the braking power a street-driven A4 will ever need. StopTechs are overkill unless you're track racing your car - get these and you'll love them.

I agree with UpstateNY, great brakes for the price, stops the car like none other for the price. I went with the hawk hps ceramic pads, wow it stops! I also painted my capliers black but left the carrier gold to match my car.
