I'm looking to probably pick up either Pagid RS-19 or RS 4-4 Orange pads, just for the stock brakes. My new Stoptechs won't be ready in time for Road America, sadly.

Soo- anyone have a good source for track pads? Some place with a decent selection. ECS only seems to have Hawk Race pads... not sure I want those.

I need some new fluid too, but that's a lot easier to find.

TTinCT

they got a selection of everything...and the pricing is good...

i know it's easy with stoptechs- you just need an allen wrench i think, easy to make quick changes at the track- but is this possible with a stock brake system, or is it a PITA? i've got some things to learn before Monday the 18th, i think!

which were even better, but damn they are expensive.

the thing that is a beeotch sometimes are the rear's. It is a single piston and on worn rotors it can over-extend itself. If the rotors are worn, and there is a lip at the edge of the rotor, then you need to get a new rotor too...

You will need a c-clamp to compress the piston, or you need to gently pry the piston back...

Fronts are fairly straight forward tho...

ps...like your new sig! ;-)

I don't think they have a specific fitment listed for the TT, but this is the number that one of my friends gave me for what actually fits. I've driven cars with the VR spec pads, and they are downright amazing.

CRB.VR.D555

you can get them directly from cobalt for $135.

a caliper tool or pliers if you must.

Having just redone both pads and rotors i know you can do this with a C-clamp and a pair of Channel Locks but it is much much easier if you have the <a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&engine=225HP&model=TT&s ubmodel=Quattro&category=Braking&subcategory=Tools ">right tool</a>.

For the fronts the piston can be collapsed easily with a C-clamp.

Jeff's write-up is a good guide

with no problems. Several trip to the dragon and vertually no fade (after 2 trips up and down without letting them cool down, I did notice some fade.)

I also have TyrolSport's brake stiffing kit, SS brake lines and Super Blue fluid. But since you're getting StopTech's I wouldn't bother.

I will say they are a little squeely in cooler weather.
