Quicksilver-A4

I installed Zimmerman x-drilled rotors and Mintex Red Box pads at all 4 corners this week. The pads are nearly dust free compared to the Ferodo pads that were on there, but performance wise they suck! They're better than the cheesey Pep Boys pads on my fiance's Golf, but they are not nearly as good as the stock Audi pads. I thought they'd improve after breaking them in, but after almost 100 miles they still aren't as good as I'd hoped they'd be.

Should I try EBC Green Stuff or just go with Audi pads and clean my wheels more often? I don't track the car, so I'm not worried about a pad that fades. I just want street performance that is at least equal to the stock setup, and less brake dust would be a nice bonus.

BTW .. did you bed the Mintex?

I'm also considering Hawk pads...anyone have any experience with them?

Quicksilver-A4

Yup. It greatly improved them, but they still aren't spectacular.

I mean ebc pads suck

but it really depends on what your looking for in a pad...

I just order a set of carbotech panther xp....I hear good things!

I'm using the Hawk HP + pads. They work well at both cold and hot too. But have a lot of brake dust

I find that they happen to be on the same level as the OEM brakes if not that much better. But I did take the time to bed them in properly.

The solution is to just press the brake pedal harder. They will stop!

I did, but they are still lame.
