How many hours do you think it would take to install these parts? My dealer charges by hour

Default Brake fade is when you press your brake, it keeps going instead of stopping.
Brake fade is usually caused by high heat from hard stopping or driving too fast.

We have an Ultra Sport in the shop, I don't see any difference. But, I haven't look at the ETKA yet

Default I'd consider other pads like Carbotech Bobcat, Pagid Sport or Porterfield R4S.
Mintex Red Box is close to OEM with less dust. It's a decent upgrade though for not changing the caliper and rotor size. It will give improved braking with better bite (w/ alternate pads IMO), less fade,.. etc.

Default Just FYI, when I put my B6 S4 front brakes in, the first side took about an hour
because I was double checking everything, next side took about 40 minutes.
