Interested for my S1 rs4

Any that are hotswappable?

I hear the r34 gtt rotors/pads are a significant improvement.

adam, your brembos are the same as those on bcnr33 (r33gtr) and bnr34 (r34gtr) only difference is in the caliper mounting bolts

if you want, you can buy my rotors, and i'll pay the extra to get myself some slotted, if you don't want to fork out too much at the moment

I went for the Project Mu b spec pads, awesome bite and work straight away, a little dusty but not as bad as the formula ferodo's ive had before.

I just went some stock R33 GTR rotor's, at the time i wanted slotted but didnt have the kesh.

Racebrakes RB74 pads, or Endless SSS if you want to spend more for less feel.

RDA slotted rotors.

hopefully would be 200 per end for rotors and 170 per end for pads!

I run RDA slotted rotors and QFM pads in the skyline. I've used them at the track a few time and both have held up awesome, not much brake dust at all with the QFM pads and they are pretty cheap as well

[chef_stagea]

where should i get them... i got a quote for 33 gtr rotors from ABS today.. like 320 for fronts each, 230 for rears... i think pads were like 180ish? but seriously..... chances of not bending me over:( lol

[M I K E]

i realise redstuff isn't the ideal street pad too, but just rough prices i could dig up quickly

Adam, GSL Rallysport are selling QFM pads through the Classifieds Business Traders' section here on SAU... They can also hook you up with rotors.

Might be worth looking into, plenty of people report that they perform well and are low in dust.

If you have rotors which are in good cond you can get them slotted. They are usually machined in a straight line but if you think about it for a second or two you can see that they will work as well as the visually more exciting curved slots.

Agreed.

I have the QFM A1RM pads on my car (daily driver). Pulls up much better. No dust (which I needed) and no noise (which I preferred).

Seem to have a pretty good lifespan and are a GREAT price too!

Definitely recommended.

I found a set of Panoz (Wilwood)4-pot billet aluminium calipers for $150del. + Wilwood Superlite pads for $100

try the group buy for RDA rotors

[StageaTypeS]

FYI EBC Redstuff pads squeak like buggery, I have these with slotted rotors and my car squeaks everywhere. They are great once they are hot and they stop you bloody quick when you mash the pedal to the floor but I don't reckon they are that good for street driving. I would go for a less aggressive compund of you are looking at ebc pads either go green stuff or maybe some project mu pads they are pretty good, racebrakes stock them.
