Try running without discs too. You'd save a lot of rotating weight.

Default Pretty much a necessity

I prefer to stop the car without incurring body damage.

Default Wow!!! i found another person that agrees with me that the OEM's

DO a great job for the street and I don't care about dust. I have A8 kit and B6 rear and i have stuck with OEM stuff. Noise free and the first bite is just as good as any other pad. When someone finds a pad that has better initial bite....then i'll switch
