Default Just returned from Sebring.........

I was somewhat suprised and dissappointed in the S4. Definitely not my first choice for a track car. The car performed somewhat well. Had a problem with my brakes on the first day. The front left caliper seemed to be delayed in its release causing some sideways action. It happened twice but after that didnt do it again. I noticed that the stock pads are NOT UP TO TRACK USE. Progressively the pads are crumbling apart. Time for an upgrade...... Quattro performed flawlessly. It took a good day to get adjusted to the car but after that just floor it through the turns...WOO HOO! I was quite amazed. I ran with Several E46 M3's after the apex and on the straights.

It's fairly well-known that the stock rotors and pads are unsuitable for track use.
