Looking to improve my Braking on my 07 S8. I have the stock on her now, and they are nor ceramic. I was looking at adams rotors, but a tuner shop said I should be looking for a stronger breakpad. Honestly, its not like brakes dont work well, just seems they should grab more-my audi dealer said rotors and brakes were in good shape. Anyone using aftermkt pads?

Ty B6JoeA4, I have been looking online for ebc redstuff that fit my car's brakes, coming up empty? Would you know of a source?

ECS has the front...Doesn't look like they have the rear. Weird. I like my Hawk HPS pads. I will definitely stick with them in the future. hawkpadsdirect.com (www.hawkpadsdirect.com) is where I get them.

Placeforbrakes.com, based in miami. and can drop ship nationally. they have them available for both the fronts and rears. I have EBC redstuff on my 08 S8 that I got from them. Excellent braking and significantly reduced brake dust

I guess I'm too late. I went with the EBC Yellows. Sure they dust a little but my car nearly endo's!! That's with stock rotors. Good luck!
