Track pads for an '04 S4 V8

What does everyone recommend for a track-only pad for a 2004 S4 with stock calipers and slotted rotors?

Ferodo DS3000 front and rear.

And don't neglect the track pads for the rear. They'll make a huge difference by maintaining brake bias and preventing the front's from overheating.

depending on how aggressive the track is you might be fine on the Ferrodo Ds2500's.

I used those for my past couple track days and worked perfect (with street tires, khumo MX). Plus i don't need to change them out to drive to work on monday.

I do have a set of Ds3000s like ryoung recommended that i will keep for tracks that are more brake aggresive.

We've had good results with Carbotech Pads

XP10 and XP12, depending on the application.

Email us if you need more info on them.

I use Carbotech XP-10's....like em a lot.

Up til now have been with my OE rotors, but will be replacing those with DBA 4000 slotted. The Carbotechs are for track duty only; I swap them out for the Audi OE pads when going to the track.
