alright so i have EBC dippled and slotted rotors front and rear with matching EBC red stuff kevlar ceramic pads... slowing down using heavier brake pressure i get horrible brake shutter (slowing down from 100 i notice this problem ALOT ) and the brakes dont work so well

from what i heard the base FWD rotors are an inch smaller in diameter than the quattro versions so i was wondering if i could do a conversion to the quattro front rotors and calipers to maybe increase the heat capacity... but im not sure if that one inch would make that much of a difference

let me know what you all think

p.s. just did the A4 code changeover with my VAG-COM and i did notice a fairly decent increase in the mid to high range RPM band

 

what are you talking abo, sounds interesting!

 

heres the link for that post ... very interesting and take my word it really worked

alright so to answer my own question after searching various VW and audiforums... i found out that they make a kit for the passat ( which keep in mind is a 5x112 bolt pattern vehicle ) that upgrades the brakes to A8 rotors and to move the brake caliper up all you need is the TT caliper carriers... easy solution for 12.7" rotors and slightly better braking for under 350 if you get nice rotors... will keep you all informed

purems.com has the carriers if you want to give it a shot

 

Chatter is a sign of un-even brake material deposition into the rotor. Yes, "into" is the proper description.

There are three basic solutions:
1 - new rotors
2 - turn existing rotors
3 - (and I have not tried this, but...) replace existing pads with another set with different material (recommended to get the cheapest pads you can find), drive for a week, then switch back to your pads.

If you kept your old pads or can find someone with a set of used pads with some material left, try the third option. I am dying of curiousity to see if it really works.

Good luck!
