hey ladie and gentlemen im going to need new brakes here in a few months im curious about your sugestions... im looked for a slotted/ dimpled rotor with nice pads, maybe hawk?... and while i am in there changin em do you have any suggestions as to what else i should do? change parts etc... thanks for the input, lookin forward to it!!

 

355mm stocktech bbk is all you need. well and some wheels to go over them. i run hawk hps pads and they are great. i might get some noise out of them every once and a while but its not bad

 

unless you are tracking the car, you dont need anything butplain ventedrotors and nice pads. The slots will eat the pad faster and since you wont heat the pad to the point of glazing on the street, those arent needed. and dimples are just for looks since they still remove pad contact area but dont push water or gas to the vanes on the rotor. Just get some brembo rotors and hawk, ebc, or PBR pads.

 

hmm alright... the dimpled rotors are pretty much only for looks any ways thats why i wouldnt mind getting them

 

If you car is basically stock, either stick with stock brakes or get the TT/A8 upgrade with 16" wheels and normal A8 rotors. You want all the rotor surface to stop the car and you warrent the need for slotted or x-drilled/dimpled

 

where would i find these, what do the prices run?

 

check ECS Tuning

 

ECS is a rip off. You can put together your own A8/TT BBK for far less than they charge. If you're stock you might as well go with some cheap rotors and a good set of pads. Pads mean more than the type of rotor - I use cheap chinese rotors on my cars and they're just like OEM...

 

Chinese rotors are just that, junk they warp too easy and are as soft as butter.

 

$340-60 for the basic ecstuning kit and padsisnt bad. Moving the caliper out further gives a much short stop when matched with a nice set of pads. Please only buy respected brands for you brakes, its your life and others on the line
