Dude! Why are you driving so fast?

Ceramic are great of course but just remember the test ceramic vs standard brakes I posted on the RS4 section : first big braking with the ceramic is 5-6 meters longer than standard. The ceramic must be warmed up before delivering their best.Originally Posted by Mori
This means that for a one shot big braking (as in this vid) standard brakes will perform better.
From 160 I agree. I'd like to see the results for 10 consecutive brakings from 310 though.
Seriously though - its rare that you get up to 300 or so on the autbahn and have cold brakes. Practically impossible.

500hp R32 with VF S/C??? mark IV or mark V? this car is unbeliveable:bigeyes:
Its a mark IV with VF stage 4 kit. I couldnt believe it the first time I drove the car. It is pretty insane, just wish the power came on a little earlier. It only makes 5lbs of boost until you hit 5000 rpm and then all hell brakes loose.

Was at the Ring today and the brakes sure didn't like it
We came off the track and the tires were smoking hard, so we took the car for a brake-less spin on the B-roads to let the brakes cool.
With some imagination you can see the smoke coming off the brakes in the first pic.

Ahh.. looks like a lot of fun!
It was

Thanks For the info!
Mori 10x consecutive is not the point here....From 160 I agree. I'd like to see the results for 10 consecutive brakings from 310 though.
Aye, for me the point is the 19m difference after 10 brakings. That is a HUGE difference. And I've never had a situation on near any road where my brakes were cold for lack of using them. So its a moot point for me.
Anyway - brakes are one of the most important elements in a car. In a city a difference of 2m decides whether you're going to hit that pedestrian who ran out onto the zebra crossing or not.

Mory nobody here is saying the contrary : Ceramic brakes are great no doubt.
But they need a little warm up before to give their best. So in a one shot hard braking you might be longer than with standard so beware pedestrians

Also 10x consecutive 160-0 hard braking does not reflects any real drive situation even hard track drive.
But of course it concretely shows you that the extra $$ spent are worthwhile.
Nope, it is still badged front and rear.
Thinking about putting on 1.9 TDI though
Get out and drive
Yes, that of course
But i ment the mirror cases for example
But this is the thing i like, audi is very understating and the drivers like to understate in contrary to BMW
I generally don't like the alu mirrors to be honest, so I'm more than happy to have them in black
Get out and drive
This is a autobahn with 2 tracks at the day...
Why you are driving 300? You have nothing under control...thats only stupid.
Do that on the A5 with 3 or 4 tracks at the night or on a race track.
tztz this is typical, many foreigners come to Germany for racing on the autobahn cause here is no speed limit and driving like idiots.
Especially dutchs and swiss are racing on the autobahn.
Don't think I'm a slow driver, I like to drive fast myself but in this situation it's stupid.
Sometimes driver not even look one time in the mirror...in this case it could be really close and you will crash before you have any chance to brake.
Think about it.

where is the side by side comparison Stock Vs Upgraded in the same insane situation????
Mike
if that is true, then you are correct - the behaviour is stupid and is putting the driver, and others lives at risk.This is a autobahn with 2 tracks at the day...
