don't think those pads make much difference apart from giving out less brake dust and more disc rotor wear, unless u go down tms everyday
it's easier to change to a more aggressive brake fluid.
can get u brembos even cheaper

Talking of fluid, I recommend better ones for ur brembo than that one we saw in hung gors place. I used the ate blue racing fluid, haven't tried the others so don't know how it compares but no complaint so far. U can get it from valiant.

yeah that sounds good then spend other 50k on mods and still cheaper than my old e60 or audi A6 and get it to 230hp
Audi have to lower there price now lol and they only have 2.8 engines for the new A6 :thumbsdown:
BUT need to see what the spec is, as long as it got the sport mode and the 8 speed gearbox, I am happy
