Default IMHO, Audi brakes are crap!
Too soft, no modulation, hitch at slow speeds, and the rotors crap out in 20K miles.

I know it's more brake then the car needs, but after I'm done with warentee it's Big Reds for me...

Default you do know that Audi warranty's brakes as well as rotors..
got 4 new rotors and pads at 32k... but only if you're within your warranty.

good luck.
