Whats your opinion? By the fact you are not blowing smoke up the 4 pots, i take it that they are "OK"

I fitted them on a budget so Dave helped me out with some used OEM Porsche pads (Textar)

I also came from the stopping power of the 345mm setup.

There has been a noticeable improvement in handling due to the sheer weight loss.
I think with J hooks, new pads and a fluid change I would see further improvement in stoppon power.

I am the only person whos gone from the S3 / Cupra / R32 setup?

I ran both the NQSBBK and R32 stoppers on my Mk6 and would say once combined with the right pads the NQSBBK wins the fight for me, stopping power was slightly better and on track with the J hook discs they out lasted the R32 in terms of fading

Makes me look forward to new pads & fluid, thanks Steve.

What would be your pad of choice for fast road?

Thanks

I believe the ones I ran aren't available any more (SBS Carbon Ceramics)

I have had about 6 track days with the current setup and I am really pleased.
The Pagid Orange will have to be replaced soon but I would say that's normal after 600 miles of track use.
For my car at least this is a great BBK.
With Pagid Orange, J Hooks, Motul 660, Hel brake lines I had absolutely no issues (hope I didn't speak too son). When ever I drive a normal Golf or let's say Civic I am amassed of how good my brakes are in comparison to these (in stopping power, feel, everything except price).

BTW, Dave, I would like to replace my Pagid Orange... what do you think is better value: Pagid Blue or Pagid Yellow (29)? Are the Yellow one worth the extra cash?

I'd say for track the Pagid Yellow are worth a try, but if your're
happy with the Orange I'd stay with them.
For Mike the Pagid Blue (RS4-2) will be the better choice though.

Please only fit Pagid RS pads on clean discs, they'll drive you mad otherwise. It says so on the side of the box...........

New discs or rub down with very light abrasive Dave?

Im not sure about pad choice for the porker conversion although id imagine its pretty good for fast road id recommend performance friction carbon ceramics (maybe simelar to the ones stevie was mentioning), i had the on my m3 bbk and they were grate also the ds 2500 were pretty good too and very quiet although i thought they were a little messyer than normal

OEM Pagid are cheap as chips at ECP but would like something performance based to get the most out of the kit.

Out of curiousity, what supplier are people using for the Rs4-2 pads? From a cursory look the pads command a hefty price premium, but perhaps I've been looking in the wrong places??

[Tfsi_Mike]

Havent shopped around for them yet.  Pads and Performance fluid is next months shopping list.
