    uummm i'd rather go with mjm their well known. your only paying 24 more. and your getting quality parts. if i remember right ate is OEM for rotors and mintex is a well known pad company.

    The blue dye in ATE Super Blue makes the clutch squeak. ATE Typ200 is the same stuff in it's natural Stroh's amber color and is arguably the best you can put into your Audi.

    I'd contact one of our vendors and gett set up with rotors from a known manufacturer, the ATE Typ200 and ceramic pads. Or skimp on your brahttp://www.audizine.com/forum/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=2998445kes and hope for the best. Either way, your choice.

    I'm doing GSG's OEM A4 package for $590, despite the trouble some recent buyers have had with tracking and such (the blame is on hawk for that one, something to do with sending out B7 pads with no break wear sensors) .... I saw the above deal and I stopped and thought for a second how important powdercoated cross drilled and slotted rotors we're to me.


    still gonna go with the GSG package as I've have the money saved up for a couple weeks now....unless someone wants to powdercoat, drill, and slot that $160 brake kit, add SS lines, HPS pads and the free motul brake fluid...
