Default Brakes

I am eating up my stock brakes. Pads bad at 8500 miles. I have APR stage 2 and it seems to be beating up the ABS/ESP. I drive the car hard. Thinking of going to STOP TECH Big Front Brakes. Any experience / comments?
Thanks
Scott

I'm eyeing some STaSIS rotors with alcon 4 piston calipers. Only problem is that you'll need 18" - 19" RIMS to clear them. Thats basically kills it for me. Its too hard to hide a new set of rims from the wife. [:-]

A3Night,

what site do you go to find out about all these brands/products, i think my mod lineup will be

1. sway bar (july/august)
2. CAI (Aug)
3. Rotors/pads (Sep/oct)
4....... and HOPEFULLY final mod would be apr exhaust (my own christmas present)

unless i win some $ from the scratchers, then ALL will be done as soon as i have cash........... but i'll keep dreaming.

i need a therapist, i gotta stop modding

Good luck!

btw, move the brakes up on your list. Move the CAI down to the bottom.

too rich for my blood

oh yeah, i apologize to all of you...... but i gotta break the back new to you guys

i think i'm gonna stop modding for a while, if i keep modding, i'll drive even crazier, and i don't think i wanna do that anymore. as for now, i'm gonna just cruize on the rds, no more speeding/rd raggin, no more modding. i'm sorry guys, i gotta stop this addiction cold turkey.

LOL

I give you 2 days.

It's like an alcoholic that just comes off of a really bad hangover saying they're not going to drink anymore. Yeah, right! If you're serious then sell that A3 and go buy a really slow, comfy car that can't get out of its own way. I'll start to believe you then. Come this Sunday, you'll be cutting people off and traveling 100+ MPH. I can gaurantee that!

Did some young high school girl get the best of you on the way to work today? ROTFL
