Brake Pad Recommendations
A few weeks ago I replaced the brakes on my 2007 A4 3.2L (6-speed manual) with Pilenga rotors and Akebono ceramic pads.
While very quiet and very low dust, the stopping power is definitely diminished compared to the original stock rotor/pad combination. I'm thinking of replacing the pads with something to give me back at least the same performance of the OEM brakes, maybe a little more.
Does anyone have any recommendations on brand and model of pads I should consider? I'm not looking for a racing setup, but I do occasionally like to have a little fun with my car.
Thanks!

Personally, I like the Akebonos. If you want the stock feel, go back to the stock pads: ECS Tuning - B7 Brake Pads
Your other option to increase performance is an S4 big brake kit: ECS Tuning - Big Brake OEM
It'll cost a little more, though. I almost went for it when I did my last rotor/pad change, but I was a little too broke.
