Default quick brake question

Okay so Ive been expecting to change my brake pads for awhile, hopefully not rotors. Anyway, I did about 100 miles of a canyon run today, and now I definately need pads. ECS tuning has HAWK HPS pads, 4 for $90. These pads do not have wear sensors. Im not sure if I have wear sensors or not, but if I did, can I use these anyway without the wear sensor? Also, the "00 Quattro, has the 288mm or 312mm rotors right? Thanks.

If you have a '00, you dont have wear sensors. You can check the lip on the rotor and if its not to big, you can have a brake shop resurface the rotor for you for cheap. And they are 12.3"/312mm

Sounds like your good then. BTW, you can get some nice pads for the street for far less than $90. Head over to getcoolparts.com or tirerack also to see what they offer.

Ill check it out right now, front and back for $90, or front only? I plan on replacing them all. I eventually plan on attempting auto-x, but not until I have the $$. How much did you get your Wilwood kit for?

I got my wilwood kit for under $1k and sold my stock brakes for $250, so all in all, i spent ~$750

Be careful if you're going to get rear discs.
The size for 180 quattros and 225 quattros are very different!

2000 180 Quattro
Front: 312 x 25
Rear: 239 x 9

EBC makes a nice slotted and cross drilled rear disc for the 180 quattro.
Not too expensive either.
