Polar Avant

Ok, it's getting really scary. I would have hit a lamp post if i was driving faster. What kind of brake upgrades do i need to get rid of the wet braking problem? rotor? caliper? brake pad? or the whole brake?

I am not planning to spend thousands of dollars on my brake yet, but i need something that works even if i had to sacrifice a few X'mas and boxing day gifts for myself and the not-so-close friends. safety first, rite?

Maybe the upgrade is to have the dealer fix things?

I used to have some wet brake issues, but not with the big brembos

Get a good set of "Non dealership" aftermarket pads! The dealer pads are junk!

but if your wheel design has a wide-open (few, large spokes) you will splash the wheel much more. I've consider (not done yet on my A4) a cleanwheel - they are redesigned and supposedly do not have a large negative impact on cooling. But they should keep water off much better...

My TT doesn't seem to have the problem - the caliper is at the front of the wheel and someone suggested that had something to do with it??


YMMV

Just get slotted rotors

Slotted rotors didn't make much of a difference for me....YMMV

Tarox G88's are wonderful; depends on the quality of the rotor.

I'm debating on getting some slotted rotors or waiting for the new A4 to come out which should be my next car. Gotta have Quattro!

I have used both stock 10 spoke and open 5 spoke and problem exists with both
