I'm in western MoCo but Induktion is closer to BWI.
I used to take my B5 S4 to Induktion. Always had good service from them. One time there was a little mix up but they made up for it. I would use them all the time if they were closer to me. Talk to the owner... I forget his name, but he was always a stand up guy.

I think he deals with them but im not sure. I have seen some crazy builds in his shop, And some nice custom fab work. I will be dropping of my car this winter for a water/meth injection kit, ecu tune by unitronics, possibly a custom 3" exhaust, and some other stuff.

Default Hawk Ceramic Pads

The pads I listed under an earlier post on this thread are indeed ceramic. The Hawk Pads Direct website says Performance in the description but the box in the picture has the PC on it for "Performance Ceramic". It is a bit confusing.

I have had hawk performance ceramics for yrs on my previous car and on my '12 S4 for about 2 years. I replaced the stock pads early as I hated the dusting. Limited dust with the hawks and they seem to be better than the stock in terms of overall performance.

If you've driven long enough for the wheels to get dusty, the paint is most certainly dirty. Why not just get a car wash and clean both?

Thought I was going to end up taking my S4 to a trackday because my Lotus wasn't ready, but ended up getting the Lotus done on time.

Thinking I was going to go through my remaining pads on the S4 at the track, I same-day shipped (free now for Amazon Prime customers!) a set of EBC Red Stuff pads in case I needed them.

But since the S4 didn't go to the track, I guess they'll just sit on the shelf until a later time. Generally people seem to be happy with the EBC Red Stuff?
