Default RE: brakes

do a search, we just had a pretty big thread about brakes. I have a 332mm stoptech BBK. Its pretty good. I have my quarrels right now, but thats over the brake pad itself not the brakes cause im getting a squeak. But brembo is always a big name. The porsche kits are solid too..and then theres alcon. I think any of them are goign to be great.. depends on also what use you want it for, if your going to track the car or not. And depends on how much money you want to spend it.

i have the Brembo G.T. BBK 355mm rotors 4 piston calipers.. i think they are great.. i have driven cars with the porsche set up and stoptech.. both are just as great for stopping power.. the main difference comes with pedal feel.. the brembos give you the feel of stock pedal but when you keep pushing it just keeps grabing harder.. the porsche set up has a dead area with the first 10% of pushing on the break pedal.. it is weird when you first drive it.. but you get used to it.. the stop techs actually feel like a very stiff and hard stock system.. not bad but you really feel the difference in how hard the pedal is..

I've just researched brake upgrades and i don't think you can do better then Stoptech for the money. The comperable Brembo, Porsche and Stasis kits are all more expensive. I'm sure all are good kits though I think the Stoptechs and Stasis (alcon) have been more specifically engineered for the S4 and I think that either of these two are likely the best way to go to not possibly upset the balance of yoru car under hard braking.
