the picture is of the front pads. still running HPS on the rears...they hold up just fine.

Would the extra weight of the B6 have anything to do with it?

Flushing your brake system with new brake fluid (if it hasn't been changed in the previous 12-18 months) and slightly more agressive pads like the C-Techs will definitely increase your "fun" at and after a track day.

You can easily get turned off from track events if you end up having to spend $300 afterward to put on new rotors and pads. Spend $125 up front for some pads and bleed the old fluid.

I did two track events on the C-Tech/stock combo, and had no issues with the front braking system. I'm upgraded the full brake system because of the overheat/meltdown due to cheap pads in the rear, and realized what *could* happen. I know that I want to do more events in the future... For noobs who aren't sure if they ever want to do a second event, pads and fluid beforehand will almost surely help get them "hooked" as the experience will be fun!!! YMMV, of course. ;-P

Your old rotors are definitely ribbed for her pleasure.

Had the A8 front upgrade and used mintex Reds on all 4 corners... didn't have a problem. Had upgrade the fluid to Super Blue as well.

I've since upgrade to BIRA 1 upfront using Pagid Blues and still with mintex reds on the rear.. wow talk about braking deep. I was braking near 120 - 130mph down to 30 - 40mph for Poconos full course with no fade what so ever.
