i am looking for new pads and rotors on my 96 2.8 Quatrro a4, and was looking for recomondations, hopefully for about 200 for rotors and 100 for pads, maybe more for big difference thanks

 

depends, are u looking for better stopping power or just regular ol rotors and pads?

 

get mintex red box pads for great wear and LOW dust! its done wonders for my front wheels! lol

my back wheels are black due to stock pads and rotors.

 

ty, and im going for a bit of both, i dont want to spend too much and i dont really need it but stopping power would be nice, i just got new tires too.

 

alright then go with mintex red box pads, like 18T said, and get slotted or cross drilled rotors from brembo for stopping power

 

what do you think of zimmerman rotors?

 

i have slotted rotors brembo hawk hp plus pads all around stops alot better my brembos have about 20,000 miles on them still look good and perform .

 

go to tirerack.com

they have rotors and pads. go with brembo (soilds give better pad life)

pbr/axxis make excellent pads. but i'd go with ceramic pads that tirerack sells.

 

Zimmerman are good.
Also look into Porterfield Carbon Kevlar Aggressive Street Pads, other than Mintex.
Eric @ SPP had a great deal, the last time I checked.

remember that switching to bigger/slotted/crossdrilled rotors wont necessaraly give you better stoping power.it would help vent the heat but it doesnt define how you stop.. get something that suits the type of driving you do. you dont need crossdrilled rotors for daily driving. i have them only because i got a good deal. however its GOOD to get MIntex RED BOX pads. really low dust and great wear which is awesome for the wheelS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+ you dont have to clean them every 2 days.
