Default Brake Pads
I want to upgrade my brake pads for my 99 A4 but I don't know what to get. Any suggestions?

Default imho, the oem pads are good.
ive tried mintex red pads and they dont have that "bite" that the oems do. the brake is slightly less but not enough for me to buy them again.

Default Love my Porterfield RS4's
Great wet or dry, no squeal after 5k miles.

Loving them!

Get them from Jerry @ http://www.myroadster.net/

You'll get a special 'anti-squeal' kit that is fantastic.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Red Box either. Stock is a little better. Pagid Blues super grabby.

Default Ditto and they last so freaking long. 60K on mine and they look new.
Going to have to measure the rotors soon.

Word. Definitely not good in the rain. I definitely wouldn't buy another set of Mintex reds.
