after reading this post i have been convinved and am also getting the A8 upgrad with hte HPS cermaic pads since i need to replace pads and rotors. is this kist just a direct bolt on? or is there modification involved? thanks a lot

Anthony

 

direct bolt on.

 

Some guy did a DIY for that very upgrade, check it out in the DIY section. The second post contains photos.

 

I just replaced my brake pads and I would HIGHLY recommend these pads

 

GOd i can't wait till my brakes go so i can get the a8 upgrade...Actually im broke i hope they dont go!!!

But Drilled warp if they are not done right i would just go with plane or slotted.

 

Im probably going to go with the plain rotors, because I have to replace the rear rotors as well and I cant find them slotted (atleast on the site, i have to order everything from one site cause shiping is going to be a pita), having a slotted and drilled front rotor combined with a plain rear rotor, is to autozone for my taste...[>:]

I have another really important question. In my country changing your tires for winter is manditory, so for winter I have a set of 15 inch audi rims with almost fresh tires on them...so my question is, would the rims fit the car after the A8 upgrade or would I have to buy new winter tires for the 17 inchers[:@]???

Thanks

16" is the smallest. Looks like stock size for you unless you want some cheap stealies for winter.

 

Ouch, please release the extremelly tight grip you have on my *****...[&o]

Damn, that really sucks, I got so excited about the bigger rotors i was picturing them through the rs4 replicas, now i guess ill go with stock rotor size, ceramic hawks all around, and just add ss lines...How will my stopping power compare to a a8/tt set? LOL, i have to tell you what the shipping estimate to my country ws from ecstuning, the price of parts was 520$ the price of shipping 560...ahahaha wth is that!?

Since i live close to germany sourcing OEM parts is not a problem, does anyone know the part numbers of the A8/TT combo, so i might do that if the stopping power is taht much better...

oh yeah, I heard some good stuff about ferodo premier pads???

whats up with this royal purple tranny fluid, I heard that when it was tested, it actually gave an increase on the dyno due to a more efficient driveline, anyonehave experience with this product? would you recommend it for me?

Thanks
