I've just ordered the Red stuff Pads! But if I don't get on with them I'll let you know! Thanks again!
Hi John
300 mile round trip in the RS3 is fun indeed, especially on those roads!
Thanks to you and 5cyl for the PMs - very interested in these redstuff pads. Just curious, did you apply any ceratec/equivalent and/or anti-squeal shims when installing them?
Cheers
Marcus
Hi
Just got mine front pads mounted today. Will mount my rears tomorrow. Its an new car
Are those the 47i6 updated discs and calipers wolfbane?
The brake disc part number for the 47i6 upgrade is: 8P0.615.301.B
If not then you've not had the upgrade done.
Nope. I havent Done that
So is the red stuff still the pad to have for the rs3 / ttrs then? Its just I read ur other post saying just now saying you don't rate them anymore after 5 laps on track or something...??
I hope not cos I ordered some tonight from camskill!
Cheers

OK....a few p's worth from the S3 owner here....LOL
I fitted a set of these things pending a brake kit upgrade and was deeply disappointed.
There was slightly better initial bite,but otherwise the only noticeable difference over the stock pads was a lot of squealing.
I've also run DS2500's on a VWR brake kit,and those were reasonable for road use,but as Dave(brakes) Brown said,they will **** themselves all over the discs on track,and he was right.
I now use Mintex 1155 pads and AP rotors,and this is a vast improvement in every respect,over the DS2500s,but it may be a bit aggressive for some.
To be fair Alex you are describing your experience with a totally different car and brake set up than that of the RS3 ,the only similarities between the two cars are the S and the 3 parts of the badges.
They are a hard pad and can take 1500 to bed, in that time they can squeal like a pig. They did on my Passat.
But after this time is a pad of great pleasure.
I've got them on a S14 with a big brake kit.
I never do just up front, all 4 corners on both cars.
When you say you cut and join the cable are you removing the cable out of the original pad? I also wanted to see if my brakes are the upgraded ones, code 8PO.615.301 4.36.2

You'll need to complain to your Audi Dealer of: brake squeal, brake vibration, and/or brake fade in the wet: go see previous Threads in this RS3 Forum.Awe right, when I bought the car Audi had told me that all recalls had been done on it. I'm due a service soon so I will be pushing for this then slap the new EBCs on
Just over 300 miles now on the red stuff and I'm really loving the feel of these pads, seem to be getting better and better.
Basically these pads feel the same as the OEM pads but with more initial bite, more progressive when pushing also ( less spongy)
These pads are obviously harder than the OEM pads as they efficetivley skimmed my discs which cured my severe brake judder and other issues!! Which is great, but i just hope they don't kill my disks much quicker than usual, being made our of ceramic and kevlar etc.. I expect the dics will wear slightly quicker anyway but worth it for good brakes even if u do get a a few less miles out of the discs....
