if you have a 05 it should definetly be under warrenty take it to the dealer and if you alreadt fried your clutch you should sell your car and buy a automatic

Did you buy an 05' demo car? Thats pretty fast for those pads to be worn, but knows. For better braking you can go with a Big brake kit ie Brembo, Stoptech both are kinda pricey. If you're just looking to change your pads, Hawk or Mintex(my preference) do just fine. If your pads are worn that bad you may want to check those Rotors.

I DO HAVE AN 05, BUT IT HAS BEEN ABUSED, IT HAS 31K ON IT, 2 TRACK EVENTS, AND A TOO MANY CANYON RUNS, I AM JUST GOING TO GET THE HAWK PADS FOR THE TIME BEING, BUT I STILL NEED SUGGESTION ON CLUTCH. WANT SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE CONSISTANT THAN STOCK

YEAH I AM HAPPY WITH THE FWD. I DONT LIKE HOW SHORT THE GEARS ARE ON THE Q, PLUS I AM STAYING STOCK TURBO, NO BIG MODS, AND I FEEL LIKE THE QUATTRO B6 ARE TOO HEAVY AND UNDER POWERED UNLESS MADE TO BE OTHERWISE. I WOULD LIKE THE 5 GRAND LAUNCHES BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO GAVE IT UP FOR ULTRA-SPORT.THE THEY DO HAVE VERY SIMILAR LINES ONCE YOU GET DOWN TO IT AND THE WAY YOU CAN THROTTLE STEER THE FWD IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE WITH THE B6 CHASIS BEING SO STIFF. FOR THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS ITS FWD FOR ME
