Default Muhammad - Rofren Pads work out in the long run?

Reading through the archives you put Rofrens on in Nov/Dec. Do you still like them? Much better braking than stock? My A6 has horrid brakes currently, and I'll be ordering new pads (and possibly rotors) as soon as I get a job offer.

Thanks,
Tim Irwin

Default They're working well after about 10k...

- Better stopping power than stock pads.
- Very good modulation (not as soft as stock pads) making for much smoother braking, in all situations.
- Minimal wear to the pads and rotors after 10k.
- No dust.
- No problems in wet conditions.

The braking performance of the stock brakes was pretty bad, so I got these along with slotted rotors and it made a noticable difference... I don't ever really need more stopping power now. You should be able to get the pad/rotor set from EBT for under $300. They also have them for the rear. Yeah, I'm still happy with them.
