    Ebc red or dixcel premium plus is in my list.

    Hawk hps is not in my list as I do not have nice experience on it on my previous ride.
    Brake dust that discolor my rim, cause deep Grove in my rotor...

    Those running akebono front and rear can handle stage 2 tunes?

    I didn't manage to find the temperature rating for this akebono.

    I run EBC Yellows. They dust like a bitch. The cold bite sucks. Your tune has nothing to do with your pads btw (as I am sure you know) ;)
    What do you want? Stopping power when your brakes are hot, heavy stopping power when they are cold? Low dust? every set of pads has its purpose. IMO, OEM pads are actually quality pads - they get baked pretty quick in a HPDE though.

    Nothing short of a full carbon ceramic brake swap and a top fuel dragster parachute will be able to handle the raw power of a stage 2 tuned S4 !!!!!







    stock pads are perfectly fine for the car regardless of the tune and your race car status

    You guys beat me to it... The parachute was funny!

    Stage 2 isnt that much more power to require different pads for daily use. If you are doing AutoX or track then maybe

    Yeah EBC yellow dusty. and doesnt have high speed braking power confidence on my previous evo x. Dixcel 800 degree pads beat EBC yellow hand down.

    OEM pads are dusty as hell and will have burnt smell if spirited driving for the next 30 min.

    thanks
