Default I find drilled destroy pads more, those holes suck in pad material like crazy

speaking from personal experience.

Default Re: its was a joke

"but i would guess that under street conditions my A8 upgrade with my mintex C-techs are just as good or better"

Better than what...my APR's...I doubt they are better in any situation...but why do a half *** upgrade for track use and not really get true track performance? Just because you're too cheap does not mean that real brakes don't perform.

Default someone should do a test...

i was reading in R/T or some other mag about upgraded brakes and they tested a BAER system and stopping distances were longer but fade was less.... Im not saying they dont work but these are porsche calipers hosed up to a system not designed with that caliper in mind, just because they cost alot of money does not mean they work

Default True...

and that's why you need to be careful buying kits not intended for the car they are being put on...like the one you run.
