Default Carbotech Brake Pads for your S4 Must Have!!!

I Own 2001 Audi S4 Original Owner. The car is to me a 4 door sleeper. Not the fastest, but she hold her own on the road. I like to think the car is well rounded. The only thing I have to complain about the S4 is the brakes.
The OEM brakes fades big time. I thought about the Porsche brake upgrade. At the time I was still paying off the car. Can't afford it. Even though about Stoptech and Brembo Brakes, Expensive. So I put any money I have into the engine performance. Chip , Exhaust system ect the fun stuff. Now the car is even faster, the brakes fads even worst. Until I found out about Carbotech brake pads. I bought a front and rear set from a company in Ohio call Lulu's Auto Supply. Check them out on-line www.lulusautosupply.com great people Family own. Any ways, these Carbotech Pads are god send. I don't even have to change my calipers, they fit right in. Once properly seated the S4 stop on a dime. What a Great product, and it’s made right here in USA. Non corrosive brake dust that will not bake on the wheels.
If anyone els out there have use Carbotech Brake Pads, I like to get your feedback. Thanks

sorry I did not keep the log file. but it crashed my firefox and IE and then popped up like 10 to 15 windows and then it told me that i had a hard drive failure and then it shut down the pc. so then I had to boot up in safe mode and restore my pc to an earlier date and run Malwarebytes on it and after all that my firefox was still getting redirected to junk sites after my google search. so you might want to look at the likes on your webpage and see if someone added some thing to one of your links. I think it was the link for search for products online of some thing like that. sorry i'm not trying to bash the website or say you don't have a good product

This thread looks like shameless advertising.

Sorry you feel that way, I'm kind of new at this. Did not want to seem like I was advertising. I really just want to know if these brake pads are as good as I think they are. Not just in my head. You know for example. When you bolt-on a new performance exhuast System, and you think your car gain a ton of HP. When you finally race someone, and found out that it didn't really make a difference. Just like to get a feed back from other people that have these brake pads.
Thank you for letting me know, I'll try not to sound like that next time.
Thanks again.

Def good pads. They are very rotor/wheel friendly. Ran them in lots of cars from spec miata through grand am and world challange mustangs. What compounds did you get?
