    Brakes on a budget

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I need to get some new pads and rotors for the S4. I am going to order some other stuff from ECS and I have a gift card there so I really want to get the things I need from ECS. I have been looking and have come up with these options:

    Front Rotors:

    ECS Slotted Rotor - $163
    Genuine Audi - $169

    Front Pads

    Hawk - Performance Pads - $131

    Rear Rotors

    ECS Slotted Rotor - $159

    Also what about these brands? I haven't heard of them but are they any good or should I stick with the ECS ones?

    Pilenga
    OPParts

    Rear Pads

    Hawk - HPS Compound - $59

    Do you guys think this is a good setup? I am not looking to upgrade much over stock if anything. The local shop wanted $1,900 for OEM parts and install.

    Opinions and suggestions welcome!

    A few people have had really good results with eBay packages.

    4 rotors + 4 sets of pads for like 250 USD.

    Quality stuff too. He made a post about the initial arrival, installation and review afterwards.

    that dosn't sound like a budget to me. get some pads and have the rotors turned.

    Definitely be running the same front and rear.

    I'll have to check out ebay.

    It's on a budget vs. the Stage 4 kit :)

    I'll be sure the flush the fluid.
