KaMaKaZieP -ALUMIN8-

Its been a few hundred miles on this set up and i am very impressed.

Pros:I did not get any pedal improvement but i must say that i have to put much less effort into stopping the car. Brake fade is gone, when i am on the way to Jersey city and hit NJ Turnpike traffic at 80 mph and need to slow down to 5! I have absolutle silence in warm or cold situations.
I COVERED the back of the pad in silicon brake gel to help as much as possible.

Cons:The bads are a bit dusty, but i bought them for stopping power, i can always clean the rims.

Just out of curiousity did you notice a ride improvement from the reduced unspring weight. I must admit, I didn't with my S8's 2-piece rotors, but at the time I really wasn't paying much attention to ride quality.

And glad you're pleased with the Ferodo's :-)

Its noticable enough that i didnt have to look for it.

just from a rotor change??

The 2 piece rotors are approx 25% lighter than stock therefore reducing "unsprung" weight

I will a mad. Why no DS2500 for euro spec A8? Advice me anything with same parameters. :-)

1. Handling -- Less unsprung weight means that the springs and shocks can more easily keep the tire in uniform contact the track.

2. Acceleration -- The rotor acts like a flywheel, and less spinning weight means less HP is wasted spinning the rotor instead of accelerating the car.

Here's what we do to reduce rotor weight on our race car ...

geez, i have never seen a rotor like that!!
